Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 8 pieces skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring they are all well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
While the beef is marinating, wash and cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Clean the mushrooms and cut them in half if they are large.
Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the skewers alternately with beef cubes, bell pepper pieces, onion pieces, and mushrooms.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the beef skewers hot with your favorite low sodium side dishes or salad.
