Advieh Kabab
Grilled Beef Kebabs with Persian Spices
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 - 1.2 kg cubed lamb or beef (I've used beef rump steak)
Marinade
- 1 large brown onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 1/8 tsp ground saffron (bloomed in 50 ml of water)
- 2 tbsp advieh
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tbsp chilli sauce ( I use habanero)
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
To baste while cooking
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
Instructions
- Place the beef (or any other cubed meat you fancy) into a large bowl or tupperware box.
- Place all the ingredients for the marinade in a blender and blitz until all the onion and garlic is blended. Pour over the meat and rub in until evenly coated. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for a minimum of 12 hrs.
- Remove the meat from the fridge about 30 mins before cooking to bring to room temperature.
- Divide the meat on to about 4 skewers and cook on your BBQ or under your grill (on the highest setting). Baste with the melted butter, turning the skewers until the meat is a little charred. It takes roughly 15 to 25 minutes on a bbq (depending on how hot your bbq is).
- For serving inspiration either serve alongside rice and grilled tomatoes or with flatbreads; lettuce; chopped tomatoes with Thai basil; chopped onion and parsley; pickled chillies; bbq/grilled peppers; Greek yoghurt mixed with dried mint, Aleppo pepper, garlic and a little sea salt; chips; and bbq corn with a butter, chilli and chive drizzle.
