Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 red onion
• 1 zucchini
• 20 cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Chop the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into similarly sized 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini into thick rounds.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.

Step 4

Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring the beef is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Assemble the kabobs by threading the marinated beef, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between the meat and vegetables.

Step 8

Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the grilled beef kabobs warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh green salad or couscous.
