Ternera a la Parrilla

Ternera a la Parrilla is a traditional Spanish grilled beef dish that showcases the rich flavors of marinated meat cooked to perfection over an open flame. This high-protein recipe is perfect for a summer BBQ, offering a deliciously smoky and tender experience.

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs, chopped
• Fresh thyme - 1 sprig, chopped
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red bell pepper - 1, sliced
• Zucchini - 1, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 200 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Cut the beef sirloin into two equal pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. While the grill is heating, prepare the vegetables by tossing the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Once the grill is hot, remove the beef from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
6. During the last few minutes of grilling, add the prepared vegetables to the grill, cooking until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Remove the grilled beef and vegetables from the grill and let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the sliced beef alongside the grilled vegetables, drizzled with any remaining marinade if desired.
