Chunks of vegetarian "beef" are marinaded in a flavorful Worcestershire-based sauce with a hint of sugar for a meaty-tasting skewer. The recipe calls for mushrooms, bell peppers and onions too, but use any grillable vegetable that you like, perhaps zucchini or tomato chunks. If you're looking for a way to grill a mock-meat dish, this is a great recipe to try.
