These Beef and Vegetable Skewers are a delightful low-carb dish that combines tender marinated beef with a colorful array of vegetables. Perfect for grilling, they are not only flavorful but also healthy, making them an ideal dinner option.

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Bell pepper (red, yellow, or green) - 1 medium, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced into thick rounds
• Red onion - 1 medium, cut into wedges
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ground black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Wooden skewers - 4, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into the specified sizes.
4. After marinating, thread the beef and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
