Ingredients
Scale
- 1500 grams beef sirloin steak, cut into 15 cm cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into pieces
- 1 zucchini, sliced thickly
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Marinate beef: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting. Add beef cubes to remaining marinade, cover, and refrigerate 2-24 hours.
- Prep grill: Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F/200°C).
- Skewer: Thread beef alternately with vegetables onto skewers.
- Grill: Cook skewers 8-10 minutes total, turning every 2 minutes, until beef reaches desired doneness (125°F/52°C for medium-rare). Baste with reserved marinade during last 2 minutes.
- Rest: Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Cutting tip: Slice beef against the grain before cubing for extra tenderness.
- Wooden skewers: Soak in water 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Oven option: Broil on high rack 6-8 minutes, turning once.
- For even cooking, keep similar-sized pieces on each skewer.
