Cilantro Beef Skewers are a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines tender marinated beef with fresh cilantro, perfect for grilling and serving at any barbecue. This Halal Chinese BBQ dish brings a delightful blend of spices and herbs that will tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Fresh cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Wooden skewers - 4, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the beef is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.
4. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
6. Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
7. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the skewers for added flavor.
8. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
