Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 skewers
Instructions
Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using wooden skewers to prevent them from burning.
In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, oregano, cumin, and chopped parsley to create a marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the beef from the refrigerator. Thread the beef cubes, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, rotating every few minutes to ensure each side is cooked evenly. Cook until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
