Cut the beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and place them into a large bowl.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl with the beef.
Add plain yogurt, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the juice of one lemon to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients well to coat the beef evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
When ready to cook, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning, if using wooden ones.
Cut the red and green bell peppers into 1.5-inch squares and set them aside.
Thread the marinated beef cubes, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the shashlik skewers, turning occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are charred.
Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the beef shashlik hot with your choice of side dishes or fresh salad.
