Cut the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch squares. Slice the zucchini into thick 1/2-inch rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Add the plant-based beef chunks to the marinade, stirring to coat them well. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
While the plant-based beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables by tossing them in a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated plant-based beef chunks, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternating them for color onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the shish kabobs on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove skewers from the grill and serve hot, topped with freshly chopped parsley.
