  1. Instructions
    1. Prepare the Beef:

      • Combine all spices in a bowl. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
    2. Preheat the Grill:

      • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled/sprayed to prevent sticking.
    3. Thread the Skewers:

      • Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with onion wedges. Leave a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
    4. Season and Grill:

      • Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the onions are tender and slightly charred.
    5. Rest and Serve:

      • Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
      • Serve the grilled beef and onion skewers hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Note

Tips:

  • For tender beef, avoid overcooking. Aim for medium-rare to medium doneness.
  • Customize the flavor by experimenting with different marinades and seasonings.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Keep Ingredients Cold: If marinating the beef, make sure to keep it refrigerated until you're ready to thread it onto the skewers. Cold meat is easier to handle and reduces the risk of bacterial growth.
  • Enjoy Fresh Off the Grill: Grilled beef and onion skewers are best enjoyed hot off the grill when the meat is at its juiciest and most flavorful. Serve them immediately for the ultimate grilling experience

Calories:

  • The calorie count for grilled beef and onion skewers can vary depending on factors such as the cut of beef used and any additional ingredients in the marinade. On average, each skewer may contain approximately 150-200 calories.

How long should I marinate the beef?
