Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 skewers wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the marinade until well-blended.
Add the beef cubes to the bowl, ensuring all pieces are coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably 2–3 hours for maximum flavor.
While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Assemble the kabobs by threading the marinated beef and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between beef, bell peppers, and onion pieces.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The beef should be browned on all sides and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare or longer if you prefer it more cooked.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the spicy grilled beef kabobs with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
