Grilled Beef Kebabs

Instructions

1. Prepare the marinade
   In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the beef
   Add the beef cubes to the marinade, toss to coat thoroughly, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for more flavor penetration.
3. Prepare the vegetables
   While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the onions and bell peppers into chunks that are roughly the same size as the beef cubes to ensure even cooking.
4. Assemble the kebabs
   Thread the marinated beef cubes and prepared vegetables onto skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables. Leave a small space between pieces to ensure even cooking.
5. Preheat the grill
   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400-450°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
6. Grill the kebabs
   Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, rotating every 2-3 minutes to ensure even browning on all sides, until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium).
7. Rest before serving
   Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat for maximum tenderness and flavor.
8. Serve
   Serve the kebabs hot with optional sides like rice pilaf, grilled flatbread, tzatziki sauce, or a fresh herb salad. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
