Ingredients

• 500 grams lean beef steak
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 red onion
• 8 skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the lean beef steak into 1-inch cubes and set them aside in a large bowl.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring they are all evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

While the beef is marinating, soak the skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 6

Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch squares and the red onion into similar-sized chunks to match the beef.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated beef cubes, bell pepper pieces, and red onion chunks alternately onto the skewers.

Step 9

Once all the skewer assembly is complete, place the skewers on the preheated grill.

Step 10

Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your preferred level of doneness and the vegetables are beautifully charred.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the skewers hot and enjoy a tasty, low-fat meal with your favorite side dish.
