Beef and Pineapple Kebabs with Cashew Rice

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 c. rice
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup
• 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
• 1/2 small pineapple, cut into chunks
• 1 1/4 lb. sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
• 4 red chiles, each cut into 6 pieces
• 1/3 c. roasted salted cashews, roughly chopped
• 1/4 c. cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp. lime juice

Directions

1. Cook rice. Heat grill on medium-high. In bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, and rice vinegar.
2. Thread pineapple chunks onto skewers. Thread sirloin steak chunks and red chiles onto other skewers; brush with oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
3. Grill kebabs, turning occasionally, 4 minutes. Brush with sauce and grill until pineapple is lightly charred, 2 minutes, and steak reaches desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes for medium- rare. Transfer to plates.
