• 1 large Red onion

• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 12 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the beef sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into similar sized pieces to the beef and add to the mixing bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the marinade ingredients together until well mixed.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the beef and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Remove the marinated beef and vegetables from the refrigerator. Thread the beef, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating between each piece.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove the shashlik from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
