Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef tenderloin
- 2 medium red bell pepper
- 1 large onion
- 60 ml olive oil
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the beef tenderloin into 1.5-inch cubes. Set aside.
Deseed and cut the red bell peppers into similar-sized pieces as the beef.
Slice the large onion into 1.5-inch pieces, similar size to the beef and peppers.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, mixing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the beef, bell pepper, and onion pieces alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the shashlik before serving.
