Greek Beef Skewers made with cubed London broil steak marinated in lemon juice, fresh oregano, garlic and light olive oil.

We love to cook outside as much as we can in the Summer and grill often. Meals like these Greek Beef Skewers are one of our favorites because you can marinate your meat during the day; then quickly skewer them with your favorite vegetables and they're ready to go.

How do you make Greek Beef Skewers?

For this recipe, I used a London broil which I cut up into cubes. Mainly because it was on sale and when marinating this cut of beef for hours, the meat isn't as tough.

You can also use filet mignon, strip or rib eye steaks, but I wouldn't use a flank steak unless you plan on leaving the steak whole and grilling it that way.

The marinade is simple to make, yet so flavorful. In a bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, fresh chopped oregano, minced garlic, light oil (I used olive oil), salt and pepper; then whisk until smooth.

Add the beef cubes to a resealable plastic bag along with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes prior to grilling so they don't burn.

Remove the beef cubes from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling so they get to room temperature; then cut up your favorite vegetables in large chunks.

I went simple with these Greek Beef Skewers and just added some grape tomatoes and red onion, but you can add whichever vegetables you have on hand (mushrooms, zucchini, peppers, etc.).

If you would like to save time, you can also prep your vegetables the night before when you're marinating the meat so all you have to do is thread the skewers right before you're ready to cook them.

You can feed four people for every pound of meat you use and for us that worked out to be approximately three skewers each. My family loved these Greek Beef Skewers and I served ours over brown rice. ~Enjoy!
