The greatest part of the summer by far is the outdoor party for many reasons.  It has all the ingredients that I need to have a good time; food (obviously), booze and of course a chance to stumble around with good friends and family.  I’m pretty sure everyone feels the same way unless the party is at your house or you enjoy kicking puppies, either way you’ve got problems.  For the former, the problems begin with...

 the stress of what to cook, for how many people, what kinda hippie veg heads don’t eat meat and all matter of stress.  So how can you remedy this?  With one word, well maybe two and I already gave the first in a previous article which was preparation, but this one here is even better.  Delegation!

That’s right spread the stress out.  What better way to have a party then to make the guest bring the supplies.  I always try to plan a menu that will please as well as intrigue guests, but the simple things like beer, chips and ice I make my friends pick up.  Now I know this might not be feasible but it’s worth a shot, especially if you’re on a budget.  So go nuts and enjoy the weather.

Sirloin Mustard Kabobs

Beef Sirloin approx. 2 lbs.

Skewers wood or metal
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
2 tbsp dijon mustard
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp  soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tsp Spanish paprika

2 tsp Cajun spice
Salt and Pepper to taste

First, soak the skewers in water, then cube the beef.  After the skewers soak for approx. an hour, spear the meat.  Then mix remaining ingredients and coat meat with the glaze. Now throw them on the grill and let them cook till crisp.   Now many of you would wanna throw some veg on there, DON”T.  Cook them separately and both the meat and veg will cook to perfection.  Eat!
