Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin (or lamb, chicken, or shrimp)
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces wooden skewers (or metal skewers)
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin (or your chosen protein) into 1.5-inch cubes. Set aside.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1.5-inch pieces to match the size of the meat.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the meat cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
Thread the marinated meat, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables for an attractive presentation.
Place the skewers on the hot grill, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Grill for 10-15 minutes or until the meat is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the shish kabobs warm with your favorite sides, such as rice or a fresh salad.
