Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs top sirloin steaks, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
2 bell peppers, sliced into 1 1/2 inch wide pieces
1 purple onion, large, sliced into 1 1/2 inch pcs
15 medium bamboo skewers
1 cup mild olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 medium lemons)
1 teaspoon salt (we love fine sea salt)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, pressed
3 tablespoons dill, chopped (or 1 Tbsp dry dill weed)
2 dried bay leaves

Steps:

Combine all of your marinade ingredients in a large glass or plastic bowl (do not use aluminum) and stir to combine.
Slice meat and transfer it into the marinade bowl, stirring well to coat. Marinate beef in the refrigerator 6 hours, or overnight (the longer the better), stirring 3 times while marinating to make sure meat is evenly marinated. Sometimes after long periods of refrigeration, the oil in the marinade can firm up a bit; it will liquify again if you let the marinated meat sit at room temp 30 minutes before skewering.
Soak bamboo or wooden skewers at last 30 min before skewering. After the meat is done marinating, slice veggies and skewer them with meat onto Bamboo skewers. Brush/ pour remaining marinade over skewers.
Grill steak kabobs over med/high heat for about 8-10 minutes or until you've reached the desired doneness, rotating every 2-3 minutes for even grilling. Remove kebobs from grill and let them rest at least 5 minutes before eating. If you cut into them right away, they will juice out and end up dry.
