Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 skewers
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef onto the skewers, dividing the meat evenly between them.
Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes to ensure even cooking, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve the keto beef souvlaki hot with lemon wedges on the side, ideal for squeezing over just before eating for an extra burst of flavor.
