Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 red onion, cut into squares
• 2 bell pepper, cut into squares
• 12 cherry tomatoes
• 8 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the cubed beef to the marinade, tossing to coat the meat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into 1.5-inch squares. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated beef, red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating for a colorful and balanced presentation.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are lightly charred.

Step 9

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like rice, flatbread, or a fresh salad.
