Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for fuller flavor.
While the beef is marinating, soak wooden skewers 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/200°C).
Assemble the skewers by threading the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and bell peppers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
