Ingredients

1 lb lean beef (sirloin, top round, or another suitable cut), cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 wooden or metal skewers

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Place the beef cubes in a large bowl and pour the marinade over the meat. Mix well to ensure that the beef is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for the best flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red and green bell pepper and red onion.
Grill the kabab skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
