Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef (preferably sirloin or ribeye), cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
  1. 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and vegetable oil to create a marinade.
  2. 2Add the beef chunks to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. 4Thread the marinated beef onto the soaked skewers, alternating with onion and bell pepper chunks for added flavor and color.
  5. 5Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  6. 6Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. 7Garnish with fresh parsley and coriander. Serve hot with a side of ugali, grilled plantains, or a fresh tomato salad.
