Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef tenderloin into 1.5-inch chunks and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the beef chunks and toss well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated beef chunks onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the grilled beef chunks with sliced cucumber and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese on top for added Mediterranean flair.
