Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 red onion, cut into squares
- 2 bell pepper, cut into squares
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 8 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the cubed beef to the marinade, tossing to coat the meat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into 1.5-inch squares. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef, red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating for a colorful and balanced presentation.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are lightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like rice, flatbread, or a fresh salad.
