An Alton Brown Good Eats recipe that he attributes back to the old Ottoman Empire and which sounds pretty authentically Turkish to me! Traditionally according to AB this is supposed to be originated with Turkish mercenaries grilling chunks of meat on their swords in the field - love that guy and his stories) Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs beef sirloin steaks |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (or 1 teaspoon hungarian hot paprika) |
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/3 cup red wine vinegar |
1/2 cup olive oil |
Directions:
1. Cut the beef into 1 1/2 cubes and place into a mixing bowl or large plastic sealable bag.
2. Place the garlic, spices, and wine vinegar into a food processor. Blend and while still blending, drizzle in olive oil, mix well.
3. Pour marinade mixture over beef and mix well, marinate in fridge for 2 - 4 hours.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto the skewers leaving about 1/2-inch in between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with lid lowered, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all (8 minutes for rare and 12 for medium).
5. Remove from the heat to aluminum foil, wrap and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.
