Ingredients

Scale
  • pounds (680g) beef sirloin, cut into -inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into -inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into -inch pieces
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 8 cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • Wooden or metal skewers (wooden soaked in water 30 minutes before grilling)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Add beef sirloin cubes and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. Chop bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and rinse cherry tomatoes. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using.
  4. Alternate threading beef cubes and vegetables onto each skewer, aiming for about 3-4 pieces of steak and 5-6 pieces of vegetables per skewer. Leave space between pieces for heat circulation.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Brush grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Place skewers on grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until steak reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium and vegetables are tender but crisp.
  7. Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not marinate the steak longer than 2 hours to avoid meat becoming mushy. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Turn kabobs every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Use a meat thermometer for best results. Avoid high flames to prevent burning the marinade sugars. Rest kabobs 5 minutes after grilling to lock in juices.
