Grill beef on rack of a covered grill over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes or until desired doneness, turning occasionally. Add tomatoes the last 2 to 3 minutes, grilling until lightly charred, turning once. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan; heat to boiling. Grill a few lemon halves alongside to squeeze over skewers when serving.

From Better Homes and Gardens magazine, July 2010. Pairs well wrapped in lavash (a thin, unleavened Middle Eastern flatbread) or flour tortillas, or served over couscous.
