Directions:For the kabobs:
Place the beef cubes in a large plastic storage bag or shallow pan.
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl and pour over the beef.
Seal the bag, pressing out any extra air, or cover the dish and marinate the beef for 2-4 hours, turning once or twice.
Thread the beef cubes and vegetables onto skewers (see Note).
Preheat your grill to medium high heat.
Place the skewers on the grill, reduce to medium, and grill over direct medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning once.

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
