These low-carb beef kabobs with peppers are quick, easy, and perfect for healthy grilling. Juicy beef chunks marinated with a smoky, savory blend and grilled alongside vibrant peppers and onions make a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 2 large bell peppers (red and yellow), seeded and cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped; lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Cut the beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes, keeping pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.
  2. Slice the bell peppers and red onion into similar-sized pieces.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and lemon juice.
  5. Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  6. Thread the beef, peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating for color and flavor. Start and end with a piece of pepper or onion to keep everything snug.
  7. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using charcoal, wait until coals are covered in white ash.
  8. Grill the kabobs for 10-12 minutes, turning every 5-6 minutes to get even grill marks and avoid burning. Peppers should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
  9. Check for doneness: medium-rare at 135°F internal temperature, medium at 145°F. Let kabobs rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Do not marinate beef for more than 2 hours to avoid mushy texture. Use tongs to turn kabobs to keep juices inside. Let kabobs rest after grilling for tender bites. If no grill available, use grill pan or broiler. Adjust cooking time for smaller pieces. Keep a spray bottle handy to manage flare-ups.
