Makes 4 Servings
  1. Ina  shallow dish, combine  half od the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon of the sugar substitute, and2 of the pressed garlic cloves. Add the steak and stir to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes, stirring once.
  2. Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the peanut butter, lime juice, ginger, crushed red pepper, the remaining half of the sot sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar substitute, and  the remaining 2 pressed garlic cloves. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils. Remove it from the heat.
  3. Coat a grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill to high.
  4. Thread the steak, peppers, and onion onto 4 metal skewers. Place on the grill rack and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the steak is no longer pink, and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 160 F and the juices run clear. Serve with the peanut sauce.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Cookbook. You can have your steak and eat it too when your on a diet. I don't like to think of this as diet food. I prefer to call it a healthy lifestyle that can be bold and colorful. These kebobs are bold and colorful. If you enjoyed peanut butter as a kid, you'll love this dipping sauce with the beef and vegetables. These kebobs are just as delicious without the peanut sauce as well. Don't forget to season the steak with salt and pepper to taste.
