Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef (top round or sirloin)
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the lean beef into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk together until well blended to form the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.
Slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the beef.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating as you go to distribute the vegetables evenly between the beef cubes.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred yet tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the beef shashlik warm with your choice of side dishes, such as brown rice or a fresh salad.
