Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin or loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large Green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large Red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 12 each Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and lemon juice. Stir well to create the marinade.
Place the beef cubes in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors penetrate the meat.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
While the grill is heating, prepare the vegetables. In a separate bowl, toss the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with a little olive oil.
Thread the marinated beef and prepared vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the meat and different vegetables. Ensure each skewer has an even mix of ingredients for balanced cooking.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the grill and let the kabobs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kabobs warm with a side of fresh salad or whole grain rice for a complete meal.
