Method

Preparation of the Marinade

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and ground sumac until well combined.

Marinating the Meat

  1. 2

    Marinate the Filet Mignon

    Cut the filet mignon into 1-inch cubes. Add the cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the meat is marinating, cut the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

Making the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Assembling the Kabobs

  1. 5

    Skewer the Kabobs

    Thread the marinated filet mignon cubes and the prepared vegetables onto skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables.

Grilling the Kabobs

  1. 6

    Grill the Kabobs

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat reaches your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Kabobs

    Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread.
