Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef sirloin
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 onion into 1-inch pieces. Mince the 3 garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes, minced garlic, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

  3. 3

    Thread the marinated beef, bell pepper pieces, and onion pieces onto skewers, alternating meat and vegetables. Leave a small gap between pieces for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.

  5. 5

    Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is browned and charred at the edges and the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare.

  6. 6

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with lettuce leaves for wrapping.

  7. 7

    Optional: sprinkle with cumin or paprika before serving if you have them.
