Ingredients

• 1 pound lean beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 whole bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the beef cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 4

Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of whole-grain rice or a fresh salad for a nutritious meal.
