BEEF AND PEACH SKEWERS
Ingredients

1 large red onion

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking spray

1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)

Steps
1.    Preheat grill (or grill pan). Cut onion and peach into 1-inch-thick slices; halve mushrooms. Cut beef into 1-inch cubes. Place beef, onions, mushrooms, and peaches (alternately) onto skewers (wash hands). Combine brown sugar, salt, and curry; coat skewers with seasoning, then coat with spray.
2.    Grill skewers 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, and until meat is 145°F. Remove skewers from grill. Squeeze lime juice over skewers; drizzle with sriracha, if desired. Serve.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
