Method

Combine brown sugar, garlic, green onion, ginger, soy sauce and 1 cup of pineapple juice. Mix well. Place 1/2 of mixture over beef tenderloin cubes and marinate for at least 4 - 6 six hours.

To create Teriyaki Glaze, place remaining 1/2 of mixture in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Combine remaining 1/4 cup pineapple juice with cornstarch, mix well and add to simmering sauce. Reduce heat and whisk. Sauce will thicken. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Strain and reserve.

Prepare Chef Larry's Nappa Slaw per recipe, reserve. Preheat grill or bbq. Drain marinated beef tenderloin cubes well. Create brochettes by alternating marinated beef tenderloin cubes, yellow, red and green bell pepper, red onion, pineapple and red and yellow tomatoes onto bamboo skewers. Place brochettes on grill or bbq and cook to desired doneness.

For service, place on serving plates or a platter with Chef Larry's Nappa Slaw and grilled pineapple. Top with Teriyaki Glaze and garnish with minced scallion.
