Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 Red onion, cut into large chunks
- 2 Bell peppers (any color), cut into large chunks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning, or use metal skewers.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell peppers.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender with light char marks.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Moroccan Beef Kabobs with couscous, pita bread, or a side salad for a complete meal.
