Cumin Beef Skewers

Cumin Beef Skewers are a flavorful Halal Chinese BBQ dish that combines tender marinated beef with aromatic spices, delivering a smoky, spicy kick. Perfectly grilled and served on skewers, these beef bites are a delightful treat for any barbecue lover.

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Cumin seeds - 1 tablespoon, toasted and crushed
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water if wooden)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cumin seeds, ground coriander, chili powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is nicely charred and cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
