Marinated Sirloin Kabobs

I love kabobs....I love the flavor the meat absorbs from the vegetables that surround it, and I love the flavor absorbed by the marinade. Best of all, I love that the veggies and meat are all cooked together....leaving nothing but rice and a salad or bread for me to have a complete meal! Prep time does not include the 2 hour marinating time!!
