Cook's Notes

Reviews

	Reviewed by SavorySweetLife on 7/12/10 Made this for dinner for my family over the weekend. This was incredibly fast, easy, and tasty. I liked using Annie's Italian dressing. I bought veggie tri-colored orzo and had a hard time tasting the basil or Parmesan Cheese. Next time I will add chopped garlic, double the basil, and double the cheese. Kids gobbled the kabobs up and loved them.

	Reviewed by foodiechick36 on 4/04/09 i made this recipe tonight for dinner. it was very yummy. i did it without doing the kabob part, i also used a large clove of elephant garlic chopped up and kraft greek vinegrette salad dressing, it was soft and very flavorful and tasty and moist it was perfect. it was also quick and easy. i marinated the beef for about 1 1/2 and then did the meat in a frying pan with a tbsp olive oil...this is a dinner i will make again. i sliced the meat into bite size pieces...i would recommend this recipe. the orzo was great the flavors complimented each other great! thanks...i will look at my meat packages more closely for now on for yummy recipes!!!
