Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 grated onion, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the beef, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Cut the 1 bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.
Step 5
Thread the marinated beef and bell pepper pieces onto skewers, alternating, leaving a small gap between pieces.
Step 6
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill.
Step 7
Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is charred on the outside and reaches your desired doneness (about 135°F for medium-rare).
Step 8
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
