Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.5 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 Bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cilantro, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the mojo marinade.
Place the beef cubes in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the mojo marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Thread the beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper pieces and red onion wedges.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches your desired doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Mojo Beef Kabobs hot with a side of rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
