Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef sirloin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Thread the beef onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces so they cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Place the skewers on the hot grate and cook, turning occasionally, until charred on the outside and cooked to your liking, about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. The meat should feel firm but springy when pressed.
