Ingredients

• 800 g Beef sirloin ( cut into 3cm cubes )
• 2 piece Red onion ( cut into wedges )
• 2 piece Red bell pepper ( cut into squares )
• 2 piece Garlic ( minced )
• 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 piece Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. ( juiced )
• 1 tsp Cumin ground
• 1 tsp Sweet paprika
• 20 g Flat-leaf parsley ( chopped )
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground
• 1 tsp Sumac ( ground )

Instructions

1. Marinade preparation

   In a dish, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and sumac. The marinade should be thick and well-colored by the spices.

2. Marinating the meat

   Add the beef cubes. Mix by hand so that each side of the meat is well coated with fat and spices. Let rest in a cool place.

3. Assembling the skewers

   Alternate a piece of beef, a square of pepper, and a wedge of onion on the skewers. Do not pack the ingredients too tightly so that heat can circulate between the pieces.

4. High-heat cooking

   Place the skewers on a very hot grill. Turn them as soon as the meat detaches easily from the grill and shows clear brown marks. The meat should remain soft under finger pressure.

Chef's tips

• Take the meat out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to avoid a thermal shock that would toughen the fibers.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 1 hour beforehand to prevent them from burning on the fire.

Storage

Consume immediately to retain the juices. Leftovers keep for 2 days in the cold, reheat very briefly in a pan.
