Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, dividing them evenly.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is charred well-cooked on all sides.
Remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Paleo Beef Souvlaki hot with your favorite paleo-friendly sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
