Cumin Beef Kebabs Recipes

CUMIN-SPICED BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• If cooking on a grill: Heat grill to 500F / 260C degrees. Clean grates and brush with second part of cooking oil. Place kebabs over heat and grill on each side for 1 to 2 minutes, rotating to cook on all sides. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for ~5 minutes.
• If cooking on the stovetop: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add second part of cooking oil. Place kebabs on pan and grill on each side for 1 to 2 minutes, rotating to cook all sides. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for ~5 minutes.
• While steak is resting, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, dill, lemon juice, and sour cream. Season with some salt and pepper.
• Toast pita.
• Mix together second part of cumin, coriander, and salt. Sprinkle over kebabs.
• Enjoy kebabs with hummus, pita, and salad on the side. (If you want, you can take the meat off the skewers and make wraps.) Enjoy!

CUMIN-SCENTED BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Stir together oil, oregano, garlic, spices, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl, then toss with beef. Marinate, chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure . Thread about 4 pieces of beef onto each skewer, leaving small spaces between pieces, then transfer to a tray.
• Oil grill rack, then grill beef, covered only if using a gas grill, turning, until browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes.

CUMIN-CHILE PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• Soak 12 long wooden skewers in water, at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling the pan, until slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Combine the 3 chopped scallions, the jalapeno, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, the five-spice powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a food processor and pulse until a paste forms. Add the toasted cumin seeds; pulse once or twice to crack them slightly.
• Lightly season the pork with salt and pepper; rub with about three-quarters of the cumin paste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine 1 teaspoon of the remaining cumin paste, the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, the vinegar, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Stir in the sliced scallion and set aside.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Combine the remaining cumin paste and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a small bowl; set aside for basting. Generously brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Thread 3 or 4 pieces of pork on each skewer and brush with vegetable oil. Grill the kebabs, turning, until marked all over, 6 to 9 minutes, basting with the cumin-oil mixture during the last minute. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with the sauce.

CUMIN BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in bowl. Season generously with pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (high heat) or preheat broiler. Thread beef onto 8 skewers, threading 2 tomatoes and 2 onion pieces onto each. Grill or broil until beef is tender, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes for medium rare.

SPICY CUMIN KEBABS

Steps:

• You will need a charcoal or gas grill, 12 to 15 small bamboo or metal skewers, and a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
• Preheat grill. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Remove excess fat from the meat. Cut lamb into small chunks, 1/2-inch across or less. Thread them onto skewers, without packing them too tightly together.
• Grind or pound together the cumin, cayenne, and black pepper to a blended powder. Using your hands, rub spice mixture onto the skewered meat. Grill lamb for 5 to 8 minutes over hot coals. Halfway through the cooking, sprinkle the kebabs with a little salt.

SPICED-RUBBED BEEF TENDERLOIN KEBABS

• In a medium bowl, mix the cumin, coriander, oregano, salt and pepper.
• In another medium bowl, toss the beef cubes with 1 tbsp oil. Place the beef in the spices and toss to coat.
• Thread the beef cubes onto skewers with the mushrooms and onion wedges.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons oil with the lemon juice and soy sauce.
• Preheat a gas grill on high (or build a charcole fire and let burn until covered with white ash.).
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill the kebabs, cover, turning and basting occasionally with the lemon-soy mixture, until the beef is medium-rare, about 8 minutes. Serve hot.

CUMIN & ONION MARINATED BEEF

Steps:

• Cut the steak into 6 or 7 chunks. In a small bowl, mix together the Worcestershire, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, spices, onion and olive oil. Season meat well on both sides, then place in a flat non-metallic dish or baking tray. Cover with the marinade and chill for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature 1 hr before grilling.
• Heat an outdoor grill or griddle pan until very hot. Pat the meat dry and drizzle with a little more oil, then season. Thread 2 thin metal skewers through 2 of the steaks and repeat with the others. Grill for 3-4 mins on one side, then turn over and repeat. Let the beef skewers rest under foil for 10 mins, then slice and serve with the sauces (see 'goes well with', right).
