Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless lamb or beef cubes
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 1 medium zucchini
• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 30 ml lemon juice
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 10 pieces bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the lamb or beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 4

While the meat is marinating, prepare the vegetables: cut the red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

Step 6

Thread the meat and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between meat and pieces of each vegetable.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 200°C (approximately 400°F).

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking and achieving a slight char on the outside.

Step 9

Once the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Classic Shish Kebab alongside a fresh salad or some grilled vegetables for a complete paleo meal.
