    These quickly grilled skewers are packed with the flavor of fresh herbs and lemon zest: with plenty of parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme, they’re only one off from the famous song.

    Olive oil and extra lemon juice round out the marinade. It’s not very fussy, but it’s everything you need to make the meat delicious.

    Mediterranean Beef Skewers

    The marinating time for this recipe is very flexible: you could put it in half an hour before dinner, or in the morning as you’re making breakfast or the night before.

    Pick whatever’s most convenient for you – and speaking of advance prep, remember that if you’re using wooden skewers, you’ll want to soak them in water before you put the meat on, so they won’t catch fire on the grill.

    Lemon and herbs go with just about anything, but if you want to stay with the Mediterranean theme, what about serving these with this salad or maybe a quick plate of zucchini gremolata?

    Either (or both!) would match the main course with a simple, fresh accompaniment that you can add in just a couple of minutes.
