Quick, satisfying lean beef skewers grilled with colorful peppers and a flavorful marinade, perfect for weeknight dinners or backyard cookouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 large bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if wooden to prevent burning)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, oregano, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice until combined.
  2. Add the cubed beef to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but no more than 2 hours.
  3. While the beef marinates, chop the peppers and onion into 1-inch chunks.
  4. Thread the beef, peppers, and onion alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully until beef is cooked to preferred doneness and vegetables are tender with a bit of char.
  7. Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning. Marinate beef for at least 20 minutes but no longer than 2 hours to avoid toughening. Turn skewers only once or twice during grilling to keep juices locked in. If peppers char too quickly, move skewers to a cooler part of the grill.
