Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Deseed the red and green bell peppers and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges that can be separated into layers.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the beef, bell peppers, and onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables.
Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
