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)

Preparation

  • 1.

    In 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.

    Add 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.

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  • 4.

    Thread the marinated beef onto the soaked skewers, alternating with onion and bell pepper chunks for added flavor and color.

  • 5.

    Place 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.

    Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  • 7.

    Garnish with fresh parsley and coriander. Serve hot with a side of ugali, grilled plantains, or a fresh tomato salad.
