Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean beef sirloin
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 250 g Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the lean beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Ensure they are uniform in size for even cooking.
Dice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Cut the red onion into similar sized chunks. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper, dried oregano, and chopped fresh mint leaves.
Place the beef cubes into a large bowl, pour the marinade over them, and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water. This prevents them from burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating the ingredients.
Grill the kebabs on medium-high heat. Turn every few minutes to ensure even cooking and grill marks. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the beef reaches desired doneness.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs with a side of brown rice or a fresh green salad for a balanced heart-healthy meal.
