  5. Add the beef, 1 medium onion (cut into 1-inch pieces), and 1 bell pepper (any color, cut into 1-inch pieces) to the bowl.

  10. Keep the orzo warm.
  11. Thread the beef, onions, and bell peppers alternately onto the prepared skewers.
  12. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  13. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. (Cook time will depend on your grill and desired doneness).
