Cut the beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the red onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper into large chunks suitable for skewering.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
Once marinated, thread the beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked to desired doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
