Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs kosher beef rib eye or chuck cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 large red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 metal or wooden skewers if using wooden, soak for 30 minutes

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and cumin to create the marinade.
  2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
  5. Thread the marinated beef onto skewers alternating with red onion and bell pepper pieces. Leave small gaps between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Grill kabobs for 10-12 minutes total, turning every 3 minutes to ensure even browning on all sides.
  7. Check for doneness by cutting into one piece. The beef should be nicely browned outside and pink inside for medium-rare, or cook longer for desired doneness.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, marinate the beef for at least 4 hours or overnight. The kabobs can be assembled up to 6 hours ahead and kept refrigerated until ready to grill. Serve immediately after cooking for best texture. Leftover kabobs can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.
