beef kebabs

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Beef Sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup Olive Oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 Red Onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 Green Bell Pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 Zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks
• Wooden or Metal Skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if using wooden)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated.
3. Let the mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
4. Thread the marinated beef, red onion chunks, and bell pepper chunks onto the skewers.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
6. Grill the kebabs for 8-12 minutes, turning frequently, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal temperature (160°F for medium-rare).
7. Add the zucchini to the grill during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking to prevent it from burning.

Notes

• For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to assembling the kebabs to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Serve the kebabs with rice, pita bread, or a fresh salad.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
