You could also serve them as vegetable kebabs, add assorted vegetables like summer squash zucchini, capsicums, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes and small red or white potatoes.
Ingredients for Kebabs:
1 Pound tenderloin or top sirloin or
Filet Mignon or your preferred cut 1 Green Bell pepper (capsicum)
1 Red Bell pepper (capsicum)
1 Medium Onion
6 to 8 Mushrooms
12 to 14 Cherry tomatoes (small tomatoes)
Any vegetable could be added
1 Pound tenderloin or top sirloin or
Filet Mignon or your preferred cut 1 Green Bell pepper (capsicum)
1 Red Bell pepper (capsicum)
1 Medium Onion
6 to 8 Mushrooms
12 to 14 Cherry tomatoes (small tomatoes)
Any vegetable could be added
Ingredients for marinade:
½ Tablespoon minced garlic 1 Tablespoon lemon Juice 1 Teaspoon cumin powder 1 Teaspoon red chili powder or to your taste ¼ Teaspoon turmeric powder ¼ Teaspoon garam masala or to your taste ½ Teaspoon black pepper powder- optional ½ Teaspoon salt or to your taste 2 Tablespoon melted butter or oil or as needed 2 Tablespoons Plain yogurt, preferable thick or Greek style yogurt Also needed: Wooden or metal skewer Cooking measurement conversion Measurement converter Directions to marinate Beef:
1. Rinse the beef well with cool water and pat it dry with paper towel so that there is no water in the cubes, otherwise marinate will get watery. Trim away excess fat and cut the Beef into one inch pieces and place in a bowl. (If you do not want to rinse Beef then skip rinsing) 2. Remove the seeds from the capsicums and chop them into 1” pieces. Peel and cut the onion into 1” chunks and separate the layers. Clean the mushrooms, trim or pull out the stem, if using big tomatoes then take the seeds and pulp out and chop them into same size pieces as capsicums and onion.
3 In a large bowl, add yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, red chili powder,
turmeric powder, garam masala,salt, cumin powder, black pepper powder and melted butter or ghee and mix them together and make a smooth paste. Red chili powder and turmeric powder gives nice color to marinate. 4. Dived this marinate into two bowls, one for Beef cubes and one for
vegetables. 5. Mix the vegetables and beef in the paste well so that they have a good coating of marinate. Cover the bowl and place them in the refrigerator to marinade overnight. (If you do not have time then marinade as long as you can) Directions for making the kebabs:
1. Thirty minutes before you are ready to cook, take the marinated beef and vegetables out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. 2. If using wooden skewers soak them in container of water for 30 minutes to prevent breakage and burning during grilling. 3. If using a charcoal grill, then light the charcoals and let them burn until there is a white coating of ash on all the coals. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, keep the lid close. Keep some oil or melted butter in a small bowl and a basting brush aside 4. Once the grill becomes hot with a wire brush cleans the grill. 5. Apply a light coat of butter or cooking oil on regardless of what type of
skewers you use so that after cooking kebabs slide out easily. 6. While grill heats, thread the beef and vegetables onto leaving some space between each item. 7. Thread beef and vegetables on separate skewers because they take different cooking time. It gives you more control over when you pull them off of the grill (or out of the oven). 8. With a brush apply butter over beef cubes and vegetable skewers.
8. First place the vegetables skewers on the grill and let them cook for 5
minutes because vegetables take longer to cook then meat. 9. Place the Beef skewer opposite the grill tines to prevent them from falling
into fire. Keep the skewers approximately 3 “apart leaving space to turn them while cooking. 10. With the brush kebabs with some marinade including vegetables and cook
for few minutes. 11. With the brush apply oil or butter on the kebabs, close the lid and let them
cook. 11. After cooking for 2 to 3 minutes open the lid and turn the kebabs around,
with brush apply some oil close the lid and let the beef and vegetables cook. 12. Open the lid and continue to turn the skewers every 2 to 3 minutes until all
sides are lightly charred on the edges and the vegetables are crisp-tender it takes about 8 to 10 minutes to cook. 13. Do not overcook the kebabs otherwise kebabs become hard.(Keep the inside of the kebabs just lightly pink in the very center or your liking. (Grilling time depend on the size or type of the grill and the type of meat you are using) 14. Once kebabs and vegetables are cooked take them off the skewers and
place them on a plate and cover with aluminum foil loosely and rest for 3 to 4 minutes before serving. When you cover the kababs loosely, you’ll have just the right amount of air circulation that won’t dry out the kababs, and will not sweat them off. It will help to keep lock the juices and keep them nice & juicy. 15. Serve kebabs as a snack or serve them on the top of plain boiled rice or rice cooked with onions . Tips:
Kebabas can be cooked in oven Grilling will give you the best flavor but if you don’t happen to have a grill or weather won’t permit, you can bake these in the oven on a foil lined baking sheet. 1. Preheat the oven on broil. 2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil 3. Place threaded skewer on baking sheet. 4. Keep oven setting on broil. 5. Keep turning the skewers every few minutes, until the beef is lightly browned on outside and just lightly pink in the very center or your liking Note: Your grill time may vary based on different factors including grill model, weather, distance from flames so just keep a close eye on them, steak is one of those things you definitely don’t want to overcook. |
2. If you do not have oven are not able to grill outdoors then kebabs can be
cooked in lightly oiled ridged grill pan or in a regular pan over medium heat.

3. Kebab can be cooked in the tandoor. Thread the meat in the long tandoor

skewer and cook in the hot tandoor for 7 to 8 minutes.
4. Kebab can be prepared with or without the vegetables
6. Hung yogurt is thick yogurt which is good for marinating. If you do not have thick yogurt, take plain yogurt, line a strainer with a cloth or a kitchen towel, put the strainer inside a mixing bowl. The bottom of the strainer must be suspended at least 1 inch above the bottom of the mixing bowl. Pour the yogurt in the strainer and place it in the refrigerator and leave it for 3 to 4 hours or until all the liquid has drips out of the cloth and into the bowl. Scoop out the yogurt and it is ready to be used. Strained yogurt should be thick and less than half the original volume.
