Ingredients for Beef and Vegetable Kebabs
- 1 pound lean beef, cut into 1-inch cubes

- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- Cherry tomatoes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation Steps
Start by marinating the beef. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the beef cubes in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables. Thread the beef and vegetables alternately onto skewers, starting and ending with beef for stability. Include cherry tomatoes if desired.
Cooking Methods
Grilling
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Oven Roasting
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the kebabs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked and slightly charred.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve the kebabs with a side of leafy greens or a low-carb grain like cauliflower rice. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
