10 SERVING

Ingredients:

3 lb. Beef Top Sirloin, cleaned
Marinade
1 tsp. Crushed red chili flakes (or Aleppo pepper spice)
1 tbsp. Zaatar spice
1/2 tsp. Ground cumin
1 tsp. Ground coriander
2 tbsp. Smoked or regular paprika
2 tbsp. Dried parsley
2 tbsp. Teriyaki sauce (optional)
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Red wine
Kebabs
1 Large Green bell pepper, cut into cubes/squares
1 Large Red bell pepper, cut into cubes/squares
1 Large Yellow bell pepper, cut into cubes/squares
8 oz. White or cremini mushrooms, halved
1 Large Onion, cut into 2- or 3-layers squares
1 tbsp. Salt, to taste (do not add salt to the marinade)
1 tbsp. Ground black pepper, to taste
4 tbsp. Tomato paste (divided in half + 1 tbsp extra optional for brush marinade, see below)
Extra virgin olive oil
Wooden or metal skewers (10 inches long at least)
Optional herb brush ingredients:
Few stems of fresh oregano
Few stems of fresh rosemary
Few stems of fresh thyme

Directions:

Cut beef into one-inch cubes. Place meat in a large bowl. Cover with all the spices, dry herbs, teriyaki, Worcestershire, red wine, and half of the tomato paste, and mix for a couple of minutes massaging the meat with your hands. Allow beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.

Prepare bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Place them in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, the other half of the tomato paste, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Optional: make the herb brush by tying the herbs into one single bunch with butcher twine (sewing thread will do just fine if you don’t have the butcher’s twine). Make a side marinade to use the herb brush on the meat while cooking, by mixing salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp of tomato paste.

Thread beef, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion onto a skewer.

Grill for about 3 minutes per side, or until the outside has a nice crust. Use a cast-iron skillet if you don’t have a grill. Allow skewers to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
