Description

Tender Greek beef souvlaki marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and aromatic Greek seasoning, then grilled to juicy perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons Greek seasoning
  • 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) chuck roast, trimmed and cubed into bite-sized pieces
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Greek seasoning.
  2. Add beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  4. Thread the marinated beef onto skewers.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until beef is cooked to desired doneness.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Marinate overnight for deeper flavor and tenderness.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Serve with tzatziki sauce, pita bread, and grilled vegetables for an authentic Greek meal.
