Brochettes De Viande (tunisian Spiced Beef Skewers)
Brochettes de Viande, or Tunisian Spiced Beef Skewers, are a flavorful and aromatic dish that is popular in Tunisian cuisine. These skewers are marinated in a blend of Tunisian spices and then grilled to perfection, resulting in tender and juicy beef with a burst of North African flavors.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs (700g) beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat the meat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the beef skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the meat reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
