Mediterranean Beef and Vegetable Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped parsley, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Place the cubed beef sirloin and prepared vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion) in a large bowl or a resealable bag.

Pour the herb marinade over the beef and vegetables, tossing well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 2 hours).

Thread the marinated beef and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between pieces for even cooking.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grates with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the beef is browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness, and the vegetables are tender-crisp with light char marks.

Remove from the grill, let rest for 3 minutes, and serve warm.
