Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges
• 15 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss them to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated beef, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges alternately onto the skewers.

Step 6

Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the grilled beef kebabs hot, optionally accompanied by a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad.
