Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 whole bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of whole-grain rice or a fresh salad for a nutritious meal.
