Ingredients

• 500 grams Plant-based beef chunks
• 2 medium Bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the plant-based beef chunks into bite-sized pieces if not pre-cut. Set aside in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers and red onion into similar sized chunks as the plant-based beef. Slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the plant-based beef chunks and toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the plant-based beef chunks and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the chunks, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have grill marks, and the plant-based beef is cooked through and charred in spots.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with a side of choice.
