Method

Beef Kabobs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Add the beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for better flavor).

  3. 3

    Assemble the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, leaving some space between each piece.

  4. 4

    Grill the Kabobs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness.

Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine diced cucumber, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Rice

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the basmati rice and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Naan

  1. 7

    Heat the Naan

    Warm the store-bought naan in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through.
