Marinate Beef:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add beef cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for 1–2 hours in the fridge. -
Prepare Skewers:
Thread beef, bell peppers, and onion alternately onto skewers. -
Preheat Grill:
Heat grill to medium-high. -
Grill Kabobs:
Grill skewers for 4–6 minutes per side, turning to char all sides and cook beef to desired doneness. -
Serve:
Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with rice, salad, or flatbread.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, add mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes to skewers.
-
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.

Soaking wooden skewers prevents burning.
