Beef Kebab

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)

Equipment:

• Large bowl
• Skillet or grill
• Tongs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes, onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper.
2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the Beef: Pour the marinade over the beef and vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
4. Assemble the Kebabs: Thread the beef and vegetables onto the soaked skewers.
5. Cook the Kebabs: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred.
6. Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice pilaf, hummus, pita bread, and tzatziki sauce.

Tips & Variations:

• For extra flavor, marinate the beef in yogurt instead of olive oil.
• Add other vegetables to the skewers, such as cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or zucchini.
• Use different cuts of beef, such as flank steak or skirt steak.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the meat and vegetables. This will prevent them from burning on the grill.
