  • 2 pounds (907 g) beef cubed. 1 to 1½ inches squared
  • 1 large white or red onion cut into chunks
  • 2 pieces bell peppers red and green , cut into chunks

  • 1 tablespoon (about 3 medium cloves) garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon (2.03 g) cumin
  • ½ teaspoon (0.45 g) thyme
  • 1 teaspoon (1.01 g) oregano dried
  • ½ teaspoon (1.18 g) nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon (2.03 g) allspice
  • 1 teaspoon (2.33 g) black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon (2.33 g) pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons (30 ml or more) olive oil extra-virgin, (sub with vegetable oil)

Instructions

Prep

  • Start by cutting your beef  into cubes or chunks about  1 to 1½ inches squared. You do not want to cut them too thin. This might dry out the steak. Repeat this process with the vegetables , you want them to be the same size as the beef. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix garlic, cumin, thyme, oregano, nutmeg, all spice, black pepper, pepper flakes , soy sauce  and olive oil . Reserve about a tablespoon for basting.
  • Add beef to the mixture; thoroughly mix. add parsley to the marinated steak. Do the same for the vegetables. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes or more . It is best when your beef has as much flavor as possible before grilling .

Grilling

  • Heat the grill to medium high heat. If using a grill pan lightly spray or oil to prevent the beef from sticking to the pan.
  • Thread the steak onto the skewers about 3-4 per skewers, alternating with vegetables , if desired. Making sure the front on the skewer is fully covered with steak . Also feel free to use two skewers , it helps when turning the beef to grill all sides.
  • Cook steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired temperature has been reached, basting frequently with reserved marinade. If cooking for a crowd it is best to grill until the center of steak registers about 140℉ - 145℉ for medium doneness. Serve warm with couscous or a salad

Notes

  • Tip For Soaking Skewers.If using wooden skewers at least soak them in water for 30-60 minutes, totally submerged in water before using. This is done to prevent the skewers from burning when grilling.
  • Do Not Salt the Steak. You may salt after it is out. of the grill- because of the addition of soy sauce. Adjust to taste buds and use your best judgment.
