Ingredients
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 small red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to allow even cooking and prevent sogginess.
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper until combined.
- Marinate the beef: Add the sirloin steak cubes to the marinade and toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
- Thread the kabobs: Alternate threading the marinated beef cubes with chunks of red and green bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto wooden or metal skewers. Ensure pieces are similarly sized for even cooking.
- Arrange for roasting: Place the assembled kabobs on the wire rack over the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow heat circulation.
- Roast the kabobs: Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through, until the beef reaches your preferred doneness and vegetables are tender.
- Optional broiling: For extra browning and charred flavor, broil the kabobs for an additional 1 to 2 minutes at the end, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
- Rest and serve: Let the kabobs rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning during cooking.
- Sirloin, tenderloin, or ribeye cuts are ideal for juicy and tender kabobs.
- Cut all ingredients into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Serve these beef kabobs with rice, warm pita bread, fresh salad, or creamy garlic sauce for a complete meal.
