Harissa Beef Skewers With Avocado Dip Recipes

HARISSA BEEF SKEWERS WITH AVOCADO DIP

Steps:

• You'll need 16 skewers. If using wooden ones, soak in water for 30 mins first to prevent them from burning. Whisk the lime juice, harissa and honey in a large bowl. Add the beef strips and toss everything together. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hr (or up to 4 hrs if you have time).
• To make the dip, whizz all the ingredients together in a food processor, then chill until needed.
• Heat the barbecue or a griddle pan until smoking hot. Thread 2 pieces of beef onto each skewer, winding them around the skewer as you do, then season. Cook for 1 min on each side for medium- rare skewers, or longer if you prefer them well done. Serve warm with the dip.

Steps:

• In a gratin dish, whisk harissa with yogurt and kosher salt. Add beef slices and turn to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes; 2 hours is ideal.
• In a bowl, combine cucumber, red onion, olives and mint leaves, and season with sea salt. Thread meat onto metal skewers. Heat a grill or grill pan. Grill skewers over medium-high heat, turning once, until medium, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter as they are done.
• Brush pita with olive oil and grill, turning once, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes total. Drizzle skewers and cucumber salad with olive oil. Serve with hummus and lemon wedges.

BEEF KABOBS WITH HORSERADISH DIP

Steps:

• Combine in freezer bag: beef, red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce, rosemary, olive oil, worcestershire, and port. Marinate in refrigerator overnight.
• Soak about 10 bamboo skewers in warm water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the meat to room temperature and heat a grill or griddle.
• Thread a few pieces of meat on each skewer and cook 3 minutes per side (or until they reach desired doneness).
• Whisk together Crème fraiche, 4 tablespoons horseradish sauce, and dijon mustard. Serve alongside beef skewers.

BEEF SKEWERS WITH YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Slice the steak, across the grain, into long, thin strips.
• Mix lemon juice with the honey, garlic, marjoram and mint. Toss beef strips with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soak 24 wooden skewers in cold water.
• To make the dipping sauce, stir the yogurt, feta, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, hot pepper flakes and mint until combined. Let stand for 15 minutes to blend the flavours.
• Preheat broiler or grill to medium high. Thread beef onto soaked skewers and place on a broiler pan or rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• Broil or grill beef, turning once, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until it reaches medium doneness.
• Serve with dipping sauce.
