Ingredients

Beef and Vegetables

2 pounds (907g) beef, cut into 1-1½ inches cubes
1 large white or red onion, cut into chunks
2 bell peppers red and green, cut into chunks

Marinade

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon (2g) cumin
½ teaspoon (.5-1g) thyme
1 teaspoon (1g) dried oregano
½ teaspoon (1g) nutmeg
1 teaspoon (2g) allspice
1 teaspoon (2-3g) black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon (2-3g) pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce
3 tablespoons (30ml) or more extra virgin olive oil (sub with vegetable oil)

Instructions

Prep

Start by cutting your beef into cubes or chunks about 1-1½ 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, allspice, black pepper, pepper flakes, soy sauce, and olive oil. Reserve about a tablespoon for basting.
Add the beef to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Add parsley to the marinated steak. Do the same for the vegetables. Let it all marinate for 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 sticking.
Thread 3-4 cubes of steak onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables. Make sure the skewer is fully covered with steak. Also, feel free to use two skewers parallel to make turning the skewers easier.
Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side or until the desired internal temperature has been reached. Baste frequently with reserved marinade. If cooking for a crowd, it's best to grill until the center of the steak registers about 140-145℉ (60-63℃) for medium doneness. Serve hot 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
