Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon each dried marjoram, basil and oregano

• 1-1/2 pounds beef top sirloin steak
• 1-1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms
• 2 medium onions, cut into wedges
• 2 small green peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, vinegar, ketchup, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Pour half into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef cubes. Seal bag and turn to coat. Pour the remaining marinade into another large resealable plastic bag; add mushrooms, onions and peppers. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate beef and vegetables for up to 4 hours.
