Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Beef: Add the sirloin steak cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat to ensure a hot surface for searing the kabobs.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated beef cubes alternately with red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion chunks, and zucchini rounds onto skewers.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally so all sides develop nice char marks. Cook until the beef reaches your desired doneness and vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- For added flavor, serve with tzatziki sauce, rice, or a fresh Greek salad.
- Use metal skewers if you want to skip soaking and avoid breakage.
