--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced hothouse cucumber (see Options)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar (optional)
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1-1/4 pounds boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1-inch thick (see Options)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Salt (optional)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Combine the pineapple, red pepper, cucumber, and rice vinegar in a small bowl; set aside. Combine the ketchup and hoisin sauce in another small bowl; set aside.
2. Thread the beef pieces evenly onto four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers. Season kabobs evenly with black pepper and brush generously with some reserved sauce mixture.
3. Place the kabobs on a rack in a broiler pan so the surface of the beef is 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Broil 7 to 9 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning once and brushing with remaining sauce mixture halfway through cooking.
4. Season beef with salt, if desired. Serve kabobs topped with pineapple mixture.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTIONS: Two beef shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks (8 ounces each) may be substituted for top sirloin steak; the broiling time remains the same. You may also use a regular cucumber - just remove the seeds. And for easier preparation, you can use peeled, cored, and sliced fresh pineapple, available in the supermarket produce section.
