Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean sirloin steak
- 1 unit red bell pepper
- 1 unit yellow bell pepper
- 2 units zucchini
- 1 unit red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 pieces skewers
Instructions
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the sirloin steak and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces, suitable for skewering.
Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, separating each layer for easy threading onto skewers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh rosemary, and thyme.
Add the black pepper and sea salt to the marinade and mix well.
Place the cubed steak into the bowl with the marinade, stirring to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated steak, peppers, zucchini, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between steak and vegetables for a vibrant presentation.
Once the grill is heated, place the skewers directly on the grill grate.
Grill the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches the desired doneness and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the steak kabobs warm, and enjoy a heart-healthy meal packed with flavor and nutrients.
