Add the thinly sliced beef or chicken to the marinade, mixing well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Cooking the Meat

Cook the Meat
If using a vertical rotisserie, thread the marinated meat onto the skewer and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until fully cooked and slightly charred. Alternatively, you can grill the meat on a barbecue or in a grill pan over medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Preparing the Rice

Cook the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
