Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef sirloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the lean beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Aim for even sizes to ensure uniform cooking.
Dice the red and green bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into similar-sized pieces, about 1-inch pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the cubed beef to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly with the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables to ensure an even distribution.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs hot, optionally with a side of your choice such as whole grain rice or a fresh salad.
