Cumin Spiced Beef Kebabs Recipes

SPICY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch cubes and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor combine the garlic, paprika, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. With the processor running drizzle in the olive oil.
• Pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag and allow to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto the skewers leaving about 1/2-inch in between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with lid lowered, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all (8 minutes for rare and 12 for medium). Remove from the heat to aluminum foil, wrap and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.

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!
