Ingredients

• 500 g Lean beef sirloin
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 250 g Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lean beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Ensure they are uniform in size for even cooking.

Step 2

Dice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Cut the red onion into similar sized chunks. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper, dried oregano, and chopped fresh mint leaves.

Step 4

Place the beef cubes into a large bowl, pour the marinade over them, and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

While the beef is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water. This prevents them from burning during grilling.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini onto the soaked skewers, alternating the ingredients.

Step 8

Grill the kebabs on medium-high heat. Turn every few minutes to ensure even cooking and grill marks. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the beef reaches desired doneness.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the kebabs with a side of brown rice or a fresh green salad for a balanced heart-healthy meal.
