Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef sirloin steak
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red onion
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 12 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the beef sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into similar sized pieces to the beef and add to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the marinade ingredients together until well mixed.
Pour the marinade over the beef and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the marinated beef and vegetables from the refrigerator. Thread the beef, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating between each piece.
Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the shashlik from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Keto beef shashlik can be served as is or accompanied by a simple side salad for a complete meal.
