Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
• 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, zucchini slices, and red onion to create colorful kebabs.

Step 5

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.

Step 6

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve the grilled beef cubes and vegetables with a side of whole-grain couscous or a mixed green salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
