Beef Shish Kebab is a famous and beloved dish in Middle Eastern cuisine. This dish is a true crowd-pleaser made with tender chunks of beef, marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and herbs, and then grilled to perfection on skewers.
To prepare this dish:
- Start by selecting the right cut of beef.
- Look for a well-marbled cut, such as sirloin, flank, or ribeye, as this will ensure that the meat stays tender and juicy during the grilling process.
- Cut the beef into small, uniform pieces and then marinate them in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, and other spices.
- Allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for a deeper flavour.
Next, thread the beef onto skewers, alternating with vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and then place the skewers on the grill, occasionally turning to ensure that all sides are evenly cooked. Grill until the meat is browned and charred on the outside and cooked to your desired level of doneness on the inside.
