Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1.5-inch squares
- 1 Green bell pepper, cut into 1.5-inch squares
- 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
- 12 Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade. Whisk well to combine.
Add the cubed beef to the marinade, ensuring the meat is fully coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated beef cubes, bell peppers (red and green), red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating the ingredients for a colorful and even distribution.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure the meat cooks evenly and the vegetables become slightly charred. Cook until the beef is browned on the outside and reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is about 135°F, medium is about 145°F).
Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Pair with rice, flatbread, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
