Cumin Beef Kebabs Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together oil, oregano, garlic, spices, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl, then toss with beef. Marinate, chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure . Thread about 4 pieces of beef onto each skewer, leaving small spaces between pieces, then transfer to a tray.
• Oil grill rack, then grill beef, covered only if using a gas grill, turning, until browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in bowl. Season generously with pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (high heat) or preheat broiler. Thread beef onto 8 skewers, threading 2 tomatoes and 2 onion pieces onto each. Grill or broil until beef is tender, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes for medium rare.

Steps:

• You will need a charcoal or gas grill, 12 to 15 small bamboo or metal skewers, and a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
• Preheat grill. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Remove excess fat from the meat. Cut lamb into small chunks, 1/2-inch across or less. Thread them onto skewers, without packing them too tightly together.
• Grind or pound together the cumin, cayenne, and black pepper to a blended powder. Using your hands, rub spice mixture onto the skewered meat. Grill lamb for 5 to 8 minutes over hot coals. Halfway through the cooking, sprinkle the kebabs with a little salt.

Steps:

• Slice meat into 1/4 thick strips.
• Combine all other ingredients.
• Pour over meat and marinate at least 3 hours in refrigerator.
• Skewer meat by threading onto long bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for 20 minutes.
• Heat broiler; place skewers on broiler pan and broil 3-5 minutes, basting with marinade.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the meat, ginger (optional), onion, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, yogurt and vinegar. Mix well with your hands, mashing and kneading to blend the flavors and get a smooth texture.
• Mix in the coriander leaves or mint leaves.
• With wet hands shape and firmly press the meat into eight ovals or rounds 3/4-inch thick.
• You can then grill the patties on a lightly oiled rack under medium heat, turning after 5 minute and continuing to cook until done. You can also broil them 5 to 7 inches from heating element turning them occasionally and cooking for about 8 minute or pan fry them 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
