Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef chunks
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 2 pieces bell peppers, assorted colors, sliced
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, fresh thyme leaves, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the lean beef chunks to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill heats up, thread the marinated beef chunks onto skewers, alternating with slices of red onion and bell peppers, to create colorful skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the beef chunks have reached an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with a side of whole grain or a fresh salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
