Kebabs are a popular Middle Eastern dish consisting of skewered meat, vegetables, and sometimes fruit, grilled or roasted to perfection. They are enjoyed all over the world and come in many variations, but the classic kebab typically includes marinated chunks of meat such as beef, chicken, or lamb, and vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. In this article, we’ll share a recipe for delicious and easy-to-make beef kebabs.
Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 8-10 cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Place the cubed beef in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it, tossing to coat.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
4. When you’re ready to grill the kebabs, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
6. Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
7. Serve the kebabs hot with rice or salad on the side.

Tips for Making Kebabs:

1. Use quality meat: Use high-quality beef or other meat for your kebabs for the best flavor and texture.
2. Don’t overcook the meat: Be sure not to overcook the meat on the skewers, or it will become tough and dry. Cook the kebabs until the meat is cooked to your liking, but still juicy and tender.
3. Cut the ingredients evenly: Cut all of the ingredients into similar-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly on the skewers.
4. Use metal skewers: If possible, use metal skewers instead of wooden ones, as they won’t burn on the grill and make it easier to turn the kebabs.
5. Get creative with the marinade: Experiment with different marinades to add flavor to your kebabs. Try using different spices or adding lemon juice, honey, or herbs to your marinade.
