Savor the smoky flavor of beef kabobs on the grill shish kebab—perfect for summer nights. Quick, easy, and irresistibly tasty!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1‑inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1‑inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1‑inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- Marinate the beef: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the beef cubes, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
- Preheat the grill: Aim for medium‑high heat (about 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn down to a steady heat.
- Thread the skewers: Alternate beef cubes with bell pepper pieces and onion wedges. Leave a small gap between each piece to allow even cooking.
- Grill the kabobs: Place 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 from the grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon or a side of tzatziki.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
- Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning.
- For extra smokiness, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.
- Keep the grill lid open slightly to control flare‑ups.
