Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, cubed
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

• 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and ground black pepper to prepare the marinade.

Step 2

Add the cubed beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red and green bell peppers into chunks and the red onion into wedges.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are charred and tender.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Sprinkle the skewers with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Low Sodium Beef Shashlik with your choice of side, such as a fresh salad or warm flatbread.
