Trim any visible fat from the beef steak and cut it into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
In a large zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, seal the bag, and massage to coat the beef thoroughly. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers and red onion. Toss them with a small drizzle of olive oil, additional black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto skewers for easy grilling, or prepare a grill basket.
Once the grill is hot, place the beef strips on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked to your desired doneness.
Grill the vegetables alongside the beef, stirring occasionally, until they're tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove beef strips and vegetables from the grill. Let the beef rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled beef strips with the grilled vegetables on the side, garnishing with additional chopped herbs if desired.
