FIERY BEEF SATAY SKEWERS

1 1/2 pound boneless beef sirloin steak, cut 1-1/2 inches thick
5 to 6 green onions, white part only, cut into 1-inch pieces
FOR THE MARINADE:
1/2 cup country Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons bottled minced or fresh crushed garlic
1 tablespoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

In large shallow bowl, combine marinade ingredients; whisk until blended. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup for basting.

Trim fat from beef steak; cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add beef to remaining marinade in bowl; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes.

Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Alternately thread an equal amount of beef and green onion pieces onto each of four 12-inch metal skewers.

Place skewers on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, basting frequently with reserved 1/2 cup marinade and turning occasionally. Serve immediately.

VARIATION:
To broil, place skewers on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 14 to 16 minutes, basting frequently with reserved 1/2 cup marinade and turning occasionally.
