Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless lamb or beef cubes
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 10 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt to create the marinade.
Add the lamb or beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best results.
While the meat is marinating, prepare the vegetables: cut the red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.
Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
Thread the meat and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between meat and pieces of each vegetable.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 200°C (approximately 400°F).
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking and achieving a slight char on the outside.
Once the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Classic Shish Kebab alongside a fresh salad or some grilled vegetables for a complete paleo meal.
