Beef Shish Kebab

By , About.com Guide

I love the way the colors of a beef shish kebab look against a bed of hot white rice. The darkness of the beef and brightness of the veggies are just plain appetizing. This marinade makes the beef shish kebab taste just as good as it looks.

Serves 8.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Preparation:

24 hours prior to grilling, prepare marinade by combining olive oil, vinegar, corinader, garlic, cumin, and paprika. Pour marinade into freezer bag and add beef cubes. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator until ready to grill.

Remove from refrigerator and thread meat onto skewers that have been sprayed with cooking oil.

Spray grill with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.

Serve over a bed of white rice, salad, and pita bread.
