Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin or lamb (cubed)
- 1 large Red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 large Green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 large Red onion (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the cubed beef or lamb to the marinade, making sure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated meat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften slightly but still maintain their crispness.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they begin to blister.
Return the cooked meat to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for 1-2 minutes to reheat the meat and blend the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the Shish Kebab Sauté hot with rice, flatbread, or a side salad for a complete meal.
