👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Pat steak cubes dry. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, oregano, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Add steak, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
2
While steak marinates, cut bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into uniform 1-inch pieces.
3
Thread steak and vegetables onto soaked wooden or metal skewers, alternating pieces and leaving slight gaps for even cooking.
4
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F / 200-230°C). Lightly oil grill grates.
5
Place skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 8-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until steak reaches desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare) and vegetables are tender-crisp with char marks.
6
In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper for the drizzle.
7
Remove skewers from grill, let rest for 5 minutes. Arrange on a platter and generously drizzle with the fresh parsley sauce before serving.

💡 Notes

For best results, avoid overcooking the steak. An instant-read thermometer is your best friend here. Feel free to customize vegetables — cherry tomatoes or mushrooms are great additions. Leftovers store well in an airtight container for 3-4 days; reheat gently in a skillet or oven.
