Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 kebab and about 2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture)

Ingredients

• 1/4  cup  finely chopped onion
• 2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
• 1  tablespoon  grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1  tablespoon  low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/8  teaspoon  ground red pepper
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1  (6-ounce) carton plain fat-free yogurt
• 1  (1 1/2-pound) boneless sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 20 (1-inch) cubes
• 1/3  cup  fat-free mayonnaise
• 2  teaspoons  fresh lemon juice
• 2  teaspoons  prepared wasabi paste
• 1/4  teaspoon  minced fresh garlic
• 16  cherry or grape tomatoes
• 16  (1-inch-long) pieces green onion
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt

Preparation

Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add beef to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 4 to 6 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Combine mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons juice, wasabi, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic, stirring with a whisk. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Place kebabs on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with mayonnaise mixture.
