Instructions
In large bowl, mix together marinade ingredients. Divide among two bowls or zip-top plastic bags.
Cut sirloin steaks into approximate 1” x 2” cubes. Place beef chunks in one bag of marinade, place the mushrooms in the other (or may use bowls). Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to marinate.
Remove from refrigerator and drain marinade off beef and discard but keep mushroom marinade. Thread beef on 6 wire or soaked bamboo skewers. Place mushrooms and cherries in wire grilling basket.
Heat gas or charcoal grill to approximate 400 F degrees. Place kabobs and basket on grates and grill for approximate 8 to 10 minutes. To keep moist, brush kebobs and vegetables with the leftover marinate from the mushroom batch. Flip kebobs several times and toss around cherries and mushrooms halfway through.
Remove food from grill and let rest on platter for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice or over a green salad.
