Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Toss to coat the beef evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, they are ready to use.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Beef

    Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kababs

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your choice of appetizers or salads.
