Middle Eastern Beef Skewers 2

Ingredients

• 800 gbeef cubes
• 1onion
• 2 tbspoil
• 1 tspcumin
• as neededskewers
• to tastefine sea salt and black pepper

Method

1. Begin by placing the 800 g of beef cubes in a large mixing bowl. Season them generously with fine sea salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle 1 tsp of cumin over the beef, massaging the spices into the meat with your hands to enhance flavor absorption.
2. Peel and finely chop 1 onion. In a large skillet or grill pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the seasoned beef cubes to the pan in a single layer, ensuring they do not crowd each other. Allow them to brown on one side without moving them for a few minutes until a deep, rich color develops. Turn the cubes to brown all sides evenly, ensuring a crust forms that locks in the juices.
4. If using a grill, thread the browned beef cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking. Place the skewers on the grill over medium heat. If continuing in the pan, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid to allow the beef to cook through.
5. Cook the beef until it is tender and the internal juices run clear when pierced with a skewer or knife. This should result in a juicy interior with a slightly charred exterior, indicative of proper cooking.
6. Once cooked, remove the beef from the heat and taste a piece to check for seasoning. Adjust with additional salt or pepper if necessary, keeping in mind the flavors should be bold and balanced.
7. Serve the Middle Eastern Beef Skewers 2 immediately, accompanied by rice, bread, or a fresh salad. The dish is designed for sharing, so arrange it on a large platter to invite communal enjoyment.
