Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 2 bell peppers (any color)
- 8 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
While the beef is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
Peel the red onion and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, discarding the stems and seeds.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef, onion, and bell pepper pieces alternatively onto the soaked skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the beef souvlaki warm with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or pita bread.
