Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Cut the beef tenderloin into 1.5-inch chunks and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef chunks and toss well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef chunks onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and cherry tomatoes.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled beef chunks with sliced cucumber and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese on top for added Mediterranean flair.
