Summary: A previously planned trip with REI in 2020 was cancelled due to COVID.

We had 12 different hikes covering 55 miles, one 15 mile bike trip and a 2 hour kayaking tour.

A “hippie” trip in Alaska
We stumbled upon Infinite Adventures by accident and it turned out to be a happy accident. The 20 day adventure vacation started and ended in Anchorage AK and we went from place to place on a converted school bus with 2 guides and 18 guests – hence “the hippie trip”.

Be sure to cut the pieces of steak into the same size pieces so they cook at the same rate. The recipe says the prep takes 3 hours and 10 minutes. However, 3 hours of that time is marinating the meat which give you time to have a favorite cocktail.
Steak Shish Kabobs, Marinated
Ingredients
Marinade
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup onion diced
- 2 TBL vegetable oil
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp ginger ground
- salt and pepper to taste
Other Ingredients
- 2 pound sirloin cut into bite sized pieces (can also use flank steak)
- 1 medium red onion cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into bite sized pieces
- 8 ounce mushrooms cut into bite sized pieces
- 8 shish kabob skewers
Instructions
- Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a bowl or container. Place pieces of steak in the marinade and pierce with a fork to allow juices to soak into the meat. Cover and store in the refrigerator for at least three hours (the longer the better!).
- Let skewers soak in water for up to 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. After meat has marinated, slide alternating pieces of meat, onion, bell pepper and mushrooms onto skewers. Heat grill to medium-high heat and grill for 8-10 minutes until done.
