Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless lamb or beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large onion, cut into chunks
- 1 large bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add meat cubes and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread meat, onion, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers, turning occasionally, until meat is cooked to desired doneness (about 10-15 minutes for medium).
- Serve immediately with rice or pita bread.
Tips
- For best flavor, marinate the meat overnight.
- You can substitute chicken or shrimp for the lamb/beef.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or hummus.
