Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Wooden skewers (8-10, soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- Cherry tomatoes (1 cup)
- Red onion (1 medium, cut into wedges)
- Bell peppers (1 large, cut into bite-sized pieces (any color))
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
- Honey (2 tablespoons)
- Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
- Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Beef sirloin (1.5 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Once the beef is marinated, thread the beef cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes for a colorful presentation.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness (aim for medium-rare to medium for optimal tenderness).
- After grilling, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the beef skewers hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
