Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring that they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for deeper flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beef is marinating, chop the red onion and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Soak the Skewers (if wooden)

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Kebabs

    After marinating, thread the marinated beef, red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.

  6. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

  7. 7

    Grill the Kebabs

    Place the assembled kebabs on the grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your beef shish kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish!
