Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel and quarter the red onion, then separate it into layers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and stir until the beef is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, and onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating between the meat and vegetables.
Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are charred and tender.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the shish kebabs with your favorite accompaniments, such as rice, salad, or flatbread.
