Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound of beef sirloin cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound of bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound of red onion cut into wedges
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the cubed beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes.
  5. Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers.
  6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
