Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for more flavor.
While the beef is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Chop the red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes, onions, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and 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 the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with tzatziki sauce or a fresh side salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
