Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef (preferably sirloin or tenderloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 120 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and mix until all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing them evenly.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10 minutes on each side or until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot as an appetizer or with whole-grain pita and a side salad for a heart-healthy meal.
