Spiced Grilled Beef Skewers

Ingredients:

• 1.5 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
2. Add beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
4. Thread beef cubes alternating with bell pepper pieces and onion wedges onto the soaked wooden skewers.
5. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and slight charring.
6. Check internal temperature of beef with a meat thermometer; aim for 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
7. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
