Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, tandoori masala, paprika, cumin, coriander, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for optimal flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, ensuring there’s a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side, along with the mint yogurt sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy your Tandoori Beef Kebabs with warm naan or rice for a complete meal!
Tips
- For added spice, consider incorporating cayenne pepper or chili powder into the marinade.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Feel free to add vegetables, such as bell peppers and onions, to the skewers for a colorful and nutritious addition.
