Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, zucchini slices, and red onion to create colorful kebabs.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled beef cubes and vegetables with a side of whole-grain couscous or a mixed green salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
