Uyghur Spicy Beef Skewers!

Wednesday, January 22nd

Ingredients

>1 kg of beef sirloin, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
>1/2 cup vegetable oil for basting

>1 tsp ground cumin
>2 lemons, cut into wedges to serve

Marinade

>1 tsp ginger powder
>1 tsp ground cumin
>1 tsp ground coriander
>1 tsp ground nutmeg
>3 tsp sea salt
>3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
>80 ml vegetable oil
>3 tbsp light soy sauce

Instructions

>Soak bamboo skewers fro 20 minutes
>Place beef into bowl, add marinade, mix well, place in fridge for 30 minutes(or overnight if possible)
>Skewer beef cubes, char-grill on medium to high heat for 3 minutes on each side, while cooking baste meat with  vegetable oil and chili flakes

Hands down this was the best dish we have ever made. The deliciousness of this dish compared to all of our others was simply phenomenal. There was a tree's worth of skewers by the time I had my fill. I had tons of fun cutting up the brontosaurus steak. It was so much fun, it kinda made me wish i was a butcher. Until I remembered the smell of meat markets and quickly shot down that idea while it was still on the runway. The dish was very very simple to make and as I stated previously amazing to eat. The only difficulty that I experienced with this dish is not having a big enough stomach. There is no if, when I make these again the only thing I will change will be the quantity made, I sure you can figure out which way I'm leaning on that decision. This dish brought me home, my father loves grilling shishkebab. We eat it very regularly except with chicken, bell pepper, and pineapple on the skewer as well. There is just something about skewered meat that make it taste so much better.
