Preheat grill or broiler. Place kabobs 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.

Grill or broil for 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently and brushing generously with the steak sauce and pineapple glaze mixture, until the beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Note
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.
For a sweeter glaze, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the steak sauce mixture.
Ensure meatballs are fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 160&# 194;°F (71ðC).
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
Substitute bell peppers or zucchini for green peppers if preferred.
