Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams plant-based beef strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into squares
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a marinade.
Add the plant-based beef strips to the marinade and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
While the 'beef' strips are marinating, prepare your vegetables: cut the red onion into wedges, the green bell pepper into squares, and wash the cherry tomatoes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated plant-based beef strips, red onion wedges, green bell pepper squares, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating to create a colorful presentation.
Place the skewers onto the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly charred and the 'beef' strips are heated through.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides like pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a Greek salad.
