Shish Kabob Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Beef

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Set aside. Prepare cherry tomatoes for grilling.

3. 3

   Prepare the Rice

   In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add basmati rice and saffron threads. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

4. 4

   Prepare the Salad

   In a bowl, toss mixed salad greens with chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the Kabobs

   Thread marinated beef, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating ingredients. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Grill the Kabobs

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

7. 7

   Grill the Tomatoes

   Place the grilled tomatoes on the grill for the last 5 minutes of cooking, until slightly charred.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the shish kabobs with saffron basmati rice, house salad, and grilled tomatoes on the side.
