Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (sirloin or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika (pimentón)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes and toss to coat the meat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
While the beef marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Once the beef has marinated, thread the beef cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the beef kebabs for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness (medium-rare recommended).
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the kebabs with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot as part of a tapas spread or with crusty bread and a side salad.
