Greek Beef Kabobs are a classic Mediterranean dish that combines tender pieces of beef with colorful vegetables for a flavorful and nutritious meal. Marinated in a mixture of olive oil, red wine, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, the beef and vegetables are skewered and grilled to perfection, creating a satisfying meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. This recipe is a healthier take on kabobs, using lean beef along with nutrient-dense veggies like onions, capsicum, and mushrooms. Plus, the Mediterranean-inspired marinade gives them a tangy, savory flavor that everyone loves. Serve with a side of cucumber-tomato salad and tzatziki for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine the beef, olive oil, red wine, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped onion, crushed garlic, dried oregano, and bay leaves.
2.Stir together until all the ingredients are well mixed and the beef is coated in the marinade.
3.Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld together.
4.Once marinated, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5.Thread the marinated beef, red onion wedges, red and green capsicum pieces, and button mushrooms onto skewers, alternating the pieces evenly.
6.Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are charred and tender.
7.Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
