Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean beef sirloin
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 20 cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 10 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the lean beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch squares, cut the red onion into chunks similar in size to the peppers, and keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, ground black pepper, and sea salt to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, stirring to coat, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the beef cubes, alternating with bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes, onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the kebabs on preheated grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your preferred level of doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove from the grill, let the kebabs rest for a few minutes, and serve immediately.
