Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, lemon juice, and paprika. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Cut beef into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes. Place in a resealable bag or dish and pour marinade over. Seal tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes. Gather colorful veggies such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread marinated beef and selected veggies onto skewers, alternating for variety. Don't overcrowd.
  5. Preheat the Grill: Preheat to medium-high heat (375°F to 450°F) before placing skewers on grill.
  6. Grill the Skewers: Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally until beef is cooked through and veggies are tender.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove skewers from the grill, let rest for a few minutes, then serve with dips like tzatziki or chimichurri.
