Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp finely chopped thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb beef sirloin cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
2. Step 2: Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using wooden ones to prevent burning. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers evenly.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the edges are nicely charred and the center is cooked to your desired doneness.
4. Step 4: While the beef grills, prepare the garlic yogurt dip by mixing 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley, 1/4 cup finely diced cucumber, and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir well and chill until serving.
5. Step 5: Remove the beef skewers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with the garlic yogurt dip.
