teps to Make It
Note: while there are multiple steps to this recipe, this beef shish kebab dish is broken down into workable categories to help you better plan for cooking.
Marinate the Beef

Gather the ingredients.
About 24 hours prior to grilling, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, vinegar, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic.
Pour marinade into a freezer bag and add beef cubes. Allow marinating in the refrigerator until ready to grill.

Grill the Kebabs
Remove beef from the refrigerator and thread meat onto skewers that have been sprayed with cooking oil. If using the optional vegetables, thread them onto separate skewers because they cook differently than the beef.
Spray grill with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
Serve kebabs on the skewers or off the skewers over a bed of white rice, with grilled veggies, salad, and pita bread.

Tips
The type of skewer you use is very important when making kebabs. Flat, stainless steel skewers seem to work well because the meat and vegetables cling to the skewer better than wooden kinds.
If you do use wooden skewers, it is best to soak them in water for about 15 minutes before use because they can splinter. Do not use heavy cubes of beef or weigh down wooden skewers, as they will split in half.
Regardless of what type of skewer you use, be sure to apply a light coat of cooking oil before threading vegetables and meat. Your meats and veggies will slide off with ease.
