Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, cubed
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine plain yogurt, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the cubed beef to the marinade and mix until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the kebabs to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Assemble the kebabs by threading marinated beef cubes, bell pepper chunks, and red onion chunks onto the skewers. Alternate ingredients to create a visually appealing pattern.
Grill or broil the kebabs for 10–15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. Cook until the beef is browned on the outside and reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the kebabs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs with rice, flatbread, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
