- Grill kebabs for 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until charred and cooked to your preference.
- For the dip, mix Greek yogurt, preserved lemon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Rest kebabs for 3 minutes, then serve with preserved lemon dip and chopped parsley.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice for dip
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 180 g Greek yogurt for dip
- Salt, to taste
- 700 g Beef Steak sirloin or rump, cut into cubes
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Paprika smoked preferred
- 1 tbsp Parsley chopped, to finish

Notes
Soak wooden skewers for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Do not overcook the beef—high heat and short cook time keeps kebabs juicy.
Rest kebabs briefly after grilling for better tenderness.
