Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 12 cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using wooden skewers to prevent them from burning.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, oregano, cumin, and chopped parsley to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the beef from the refrigerator. Thread the beef cubes, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, rotating every few minutes to ensure each side is cooked evenly. Cook until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
