Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1‑inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1‑inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1‑inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- Wooden skewers, soaked 30 minutes in water
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Beef: Add the beef cubes to the bowl, toss to coat, and cover. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium‑high (about 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to reach a steady, hot state.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread 4–5 beef cubes onto each skewer, alternating with a piece of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and a wedge of red onion. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Grill: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until the beef is nicely charred on the outside and reaches your desired doneness (medium‑rare: 130°F).
- Rest and Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with a side of tzatziki, a fresh green salad, or warm flatbread.
Notes
- Use a firm cut like sirloin or ribeye for maximum tenderness.
- Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning.
- Keep the grill lid slightly ajar to avoid flare‑ups.
- For extra smokiness, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinades.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; leftover kabobs can be reheated in a skillet.
