Beef Pops with Pineapple and Parsley Sauce

Yummy!!!! And look how beautiful! These beef pops and pineapple with parsley sauce are so good and different! The pops remind me of Hawaiian food (obviously with the pineapple) but it's still wonderfully different and a dish this picky eater enjoys! Thanks, Giada! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/beef-pops-with-pineapple-and-parsley-sauce-recipe/index.html This recipe is perfect to show off to others! Just imagine bringing this meal/big appetizer to some one's party! Since it is so simple you'll be a hit without slaving away for hours! To top it off it is a pretty healthy recipe! It is such a simple recipe therefore I only have a few suggestions. Plan for this recipe since you have to marinate the beef for a few hours and soak the skewers (I usually forget about these things). Also, try to cut your beef and pineapple to similar sizes. I was using pineapple I had cut up earlier in the week and I didn't even think about the different sizes until I got to the grilling and saw that the beef was not touching the grill pan! Finally, I want to brag (and maybe help)-- I have found a successful way to store parsley and keep it fresh for at least a week! Cut off the ends when you first bring it home and then put the parsley in a glass of water. Cover with plastic (I conveniently used the bag I brought the parsley home in-- the small plastic bags for fruits and vegetables) and you'll have long lasting parsley! Enjoy!
