- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red onion cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Marinate the Beef:
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
- Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse the meat.
Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the beef marinates, cut the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel and cut the onion into wedges.
- Set aside the cherry tomatoes.
Assemble the Kebabs:
- Thread the marinated beef cubes, bell peppers, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
- Leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
Cooking Methods:
- Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked and the vegetables are charred.
- Oven (Broil): Preheat the broiler. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and broil for 8–10 minutes, turning once, until browned and slightly charred.
- Oven (Bake): Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Bake the kebabs for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until the beef is cooked and vegetables are caramelized.
- Stovetop (Grill Pan/Skillet): Preheat the pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it. Cook the kebabs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Air Fryer: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Cook the kebabs for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve:
- Let the kebabs rest for a few minutes after cooking.
