Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 10 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the beef cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

While the beef is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 5

Chop the red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated beef cubes, onions, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the ingredients.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve hot with tzatziki sauce or a fresh side salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
