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.
Tips
- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- For an even more vibrant flavor, try adding fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to the skewers before grilling.
