Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 10 cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt until well combined.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning, or prepare metal skewers.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with red onion wedges, red and green bell pepper chunks, and cherry tomatoes.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the beef kebabs hot, optionally with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh green salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
