Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin, cut into 1‑inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1‑inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1‑inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1‑inch wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 min
Instructions
- Marinate the beef: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Add the beef cubes, toss to coat, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Prep the veggies: While the beef marinates, cut the peppers, onion, and tomatoes into bite‑sized pieces.
- Thread the skewers: Alternate beef, pepper, onion, and tomato onto each soaked skewer, leaving a small gap between pieces to allow even cooking.
- Preheat the grill: Aim for medium‑high heat (about 400 °F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the kabobs: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes. The beef should be nicely charred on the outside while remaining pink and juicy inside.
- Finish and serve: Remove from grill, sprinkle chopped parsley, and serve immediately with a side of couscous or a fresh green salad.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer: 130–135 °F for medium‑rare.
- Don’t overcrowd the grill: Give each skewer space to cook evenly.
- Let the meat rest 5 minutes after grilling to lock in juices.
- For extra smokiness, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.
