Prep Time:     15 minutes (plus 30 minutes to 1 hour marination)
Cook Time:    10-12 minutes
Servings:    16

Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs. grass-fed beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes (naturally raised with no added hormones or antibiotics)
  • 4 red bell peppers, cut into chunks
  • 4 yellow onions, cut into chunks
  • 4 zucchinis, sliced into rounds
  • 8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (cold-pressed, organic variety)
  • 8 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 8 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • Himalayan sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Directions:

1.    Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, Himalayan sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.

2.    Marinate the beef: Place the cubed chuck roast in a large bowl and pour the marinade over the meat. Toss to coat and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour to marinate and tenderize.

3.    Preheat the grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high.

4.    Assemble the skewers: Thread the marinated beef cubes, bell peppers, onions, and zucchinis onto skewers, alternating between the meat and veggies.

5.    Grill the skewers: Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F internal temperature.

6.    Serve: Remove from the grill and serve immediately with a fresh salad or grilled corn.

Tip: For a more tender result, marinate the beef for up to an hour, especially since chuck roast benefits from longer marination.
