Beef Kebab Recipe

Marinate the Beef

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

Prepare the Beef

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

Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the long-grain rice and toast it for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add Water and Salt

Pour in the water and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.

Dress the Salad

Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Skewer the Beef

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Grill the Kebabs

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.

Plate the Dish

Serve the grilled beef kebabs alongside the rice and fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
