Method

Beef Kebab Preparation

Marinate the Beef

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well. Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Toss until the beef is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.

Prepare Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, ensure they are clean and ready for use.

Skewer the Beef

Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Cooking Rice

Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

Making Salad

Prepare the Salad

In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Grilling the Kebabs

Grill the Kebabs

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
