Beef Kabobs with Parmesan Orzo

1 pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick
2 red or yellow bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon prepared Italian dressing
2 large cloves garlic, minced

Parmesan Orzo:
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta, cooked

Soak eight 8-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes.

Cut beef steak into 1-1/4-inch pieces. Toss beef and bell peppers with 1 tablespoon basil, dressing and garlic in large bowl. Alternately thread beef and peppers onto skewers.

Toss orzo ingredients in medium bowl; keep warm.

Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, about 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Serve with orzo.
