Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g lean beef sirloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
Start by cutting the lean beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice to create the base of the marinade.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the marinade along with the finely chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Season the marinade with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and stir well to combine.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes in the large bowl, making sure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for up to 4 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the beef skewers for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Rotate as needed to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the beef skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
Serve your low-fat grilled beef cubes with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
