Beef and Prune Skewers

Beef and Prune Skewers are a delightful fusion of savory and sweet, bringing together tender marinated beef with the rich sweetness of prunes. Grilled to perfection, these skewers offer a taste of Moroccan BBQ that is both unique and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Dried prunes - 100 grams, pitted
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon - 1, cut into wedges (for serving)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated beef cubes and dried prunes alternately onto the soaked skewers.
6. 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. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. Serve the skewers garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
