About the Meal
A beef kebab is a delicious and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a quick and easy dinner or as an appetizer for a BBQ gathering. Thinly sliced beef strips are marinated in a mixture of spices, herbs, and sometimes yogurt, which adds a tangy and creamy twist to the traditional grilled meat. The beef is then skewered with vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, creating a colorful and savory kebab that’s sure to please.
Recipe: Beef Kebabs with Spicy Yogurt Marinade
Ingredients:
For the marinade:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 teaspoons your favorite hot sauce (optional)
For the kebabs:
- 1 pound beef strips (such as flank steak or ribeye), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 large bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 large mushrooms, cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Add the hot sauce (if using) and blend well to combine.
- Place the beef strips in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly, making sure the beef is well-coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight (8-12 hours).
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated beef strips onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
- Alternate the beef with onion, bell pepper, and mushroom pieces on the skewers.
- Brush the kebabs with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as couscous, rice, or naan bread.
Enjoy your delicious beef kebabs!
