Beef Kebab Ingredients

Rice Ingredients

Method

Beef Kebab Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and add it to the marinade. Toss to coat the beef evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. Once soaked, thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with onion wedges and bell pepper chunks.

Rice Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the basmati rice and salt. Stir once, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, add the butter, fluff with a fork, and cover to keep warm.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Grill the Kebabs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the beef kebabs hot alongside the fluffy basmati rice.
