• 2 tsp minced garlic
• ¾ to 1 pound of beef for stir fry or other tender cut
• 20 small button mushrooms

3. Cut beef into small chunks or strips.
4. Cut onions in smaller sizes if larger than a quarter in diameter or leave whole if they are small.

6. Thread beef, mushrooms, onions and peppers in order on the skewers.
7. Add garlic and 1 tsp of chopped rosemary to olive oil and use to brush on skewers.
