Greek Salad with Beef Kabobs

Print Recipe

A refreshing Mediterranean-style Greek salad paired with juicy, marinated grilled beef kabobs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 wooden or metal skewers
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Add beef cubes, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the salad: in a large bowl combine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.
  5. Whisk extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper; drizzle over salad and toss gently.
  6. Thread marinated beef cubes onto the skewers.
  7. Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grill kabobs 3–4 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
  8. Let kabobs rest 5 minutes, then serve alongside or over the Greek salad.

Notes

  • For extra flavor and color, add bell pepper or red onion chunks to the skewers.
  • Metal skewers don’t require soaking and conduct heat for more even cooking.
  • Marinate the beef up to 4 hours in advance for deeper flavor.
  • Assemble and chop salad ingredients ahead of time; dress just before serving to keep it crisp.
