Mediterranean Diet Beef Kebab Skewers Recipe By Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Maya Oueichek, MBA, RDN
This Mediterranean Diet Beef Kebab Skewers recipe is the perfect summer BBQ dish. The key to a delicious kebab is using a good cut of steak, and I prefer top sirloin for its balance of leanness and tenderness. But feel free to experiment with other cuts of steak!
Another great thing about this recipe is that you can easily mix and match the vegetables you use. Bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms are all classic kebab ingredients, but you could also try zucchini, summer squash, or cherry tomatoes.

Directions
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, thyme, black pepper, cumin, sumac, cardamom, coriander, and paprika.
Marinate the Steak: Cut the top sirloin steak into cubes. Place the steak cubes in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results).
Prepare the Vegetables: Cut bell peppers, and onion into squares. I like to leave the mushrooms whole but feel free to cut them if you want.
Assemble the Skewers: Alternate the marinated steak cubes with the vegetables on skewers.
Grill the Kebabs: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches desired doneness.
