Teriyaki Beef Kabobs

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1-3/4 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 pound cherry tomatoes
1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms
2 large green peppers, cubed
1 large red onion, cut into wedges
Hot cooked rice, optional

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first five ingredients. Set aside 1/2 cup for basting and refrigerate. Add beef to remaining marinade; turn to coat. Seal bag; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

Drain and discard the marinade. On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternate beef, tomatoes, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade.

Continue turning and basting for 8-10 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Serve meat and vegetables over rice if desired. Makes 6-8 servings.
