Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 10 cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning, or prepare metal skewers.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with red onion wedges, red and green bell pepper chunks, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the beef kebabs hot, optionally with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh green salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
