Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Beef cubes, lean (about 1-inch pieces)
- 120 ml Plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp Ginger paste
- 1 tbsp Garlic paste
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Red chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 6 pieces Skewers (metal or bamboo, if bamboo soak in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, lemon juice, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, and onion powder.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and mix well ensuring the beef is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor infusion.
Preheat the grill or oven to 200°C (390°F).
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Brush the beef skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking and add additional moisture.
Place the skewers on the grill or in the oven and cook for approximately 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and has a slightly charred exterior.
Remove from the heat and let the skewers rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves over the skewers before serving.
Serve the Beef Boti with a side of fresh salad or a low-sodium sauce such as mint chutney.
