Marinate Time: 30 minutes to 2 hours
Cook Time: 25 minutes

Main Ingredients:

 4 boneless beef chuck eye steaks, cut 1 inch thick or 4 beef shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks (about 6 to 8 ounces each)
 1-1/2 cups purchased fresh pineapple chunks packed in juice
 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
 1 small red onion, cut into 8 wedges
 1/3 cup apricot preserves
 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:
  1. Soak four 12-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain.
  2. Meanwhile drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine pineapple juice and hoisin sauce in small bowl. Place steaks in food-safe plastic bag. Pour 1/4 cup hoisin-pineapple mixture over steaks; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes to 2 hours.
