Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef sirloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the lean beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the beef cubes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are charred slightly.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled beef kebabs hot, accompanied by a side of whole grain rice or a fresh salad for a heart-healthy meal.
