Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 units red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 units bell peppers (any color), cut into chunks
- 8 units wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell peppers for added flavor and color.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is browned and slightly charred on the outside while still juicy on the inside.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Moroccan beef kebabs warm with a side of couscous, flatbread, or a fresh salad.
