Description

Delicious beef shish kabobs marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and grilled to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 lemon (juice of)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1 lb beef sirloin tip (cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks)
  • 2 onions (cut into chunks)
  • 2 bell peppers (cut into chunks)

Instructions

  1. Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, paprika and turmeric in a large bowl.
  2. Add in beef chunks and using tongs, mix them well so they’re covered with the marinade.

  4. Turn on the grill and set it to high heat. Take the marinated meat out of the fridge and place it on the counter to come to room temperature.
  5. Thread the beef chunks and vegetables on skewers, alternating between the meat and the vegetables. Sprinkle with a little salt.
  6. Grill the beef shish kabobs for 4 minutes on each side for medium and 5-6 minutes on each side for medium well or well.
  7. Serve warm with different side dishes (see the post for side suggestions).

Notes

  • For best results, let the beef marinate overnight.
  • Try different vegetables such as mushrooms or zucchini.
