Broiled Beef Kebabs
serves 2-4
This basic preparation for beef kebabs could easily be applied to the grill. Obviously, any marinade you can think of will serve this dish well. Try this Greek yogurt, mint and garlic marinade and then serve the beef wrapped in pita with a salad tucked in around it.
1 pound beef (tenderloin or sirloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
prep: 20 minutes
total: 30 minutes
wooden skewers
baking sheet
digital instant-read meat thermometer
1. Soak four wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the broiler on high and place the oven rack 6-8 inches below it. Put the cubes in a bowl and toss them with the olive oil. Season them generously with salt, pepper and the red pepper flakes.
2. Put the kebabs on a baking sheet. Slide them under the broiler and leave them alone to brown for 2-3 minutes. Turn them to brown for 2 minutes on each side, then test a cube of beef for doneness. Cook until they reach 125F for rare, 135 F for medium-rare.
