Grilled Beef Sirloin & Farmer's Market Skewers


Top sirloin steak is a flavorful, tender and lean cut, providing the perfect companion to fresh veggies
from the farmer's market.  Dijon-style mustard, apricot preserves, lemon juice, dried thyme and
pepper create a tangy glaze for the beef.  The veggies just need a slight brushing of mustard and
olive oil – and watch carefully as they'll cook in about half the time of the steak.
