Cut the lean beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh ground black pepper to the beef cubes. Toss well to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef cubes and cook until they are browned on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Saute until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir the spices into the vegetables and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Return the beef to the skillet, add tomato puree, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the low-fat yogurt into the curry, stirring gently to avoid curdling, and allow to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the curry is heated through.
Garnish the curry with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the heart-healthy beef shashlik curry hot with warm whole wheat flatbreads on the side.
