Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g (1.1 lbs) beef cubes, ideally from tender cuts like sirloin or chuck
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (full-fat recommended for creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp mustard oil
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste; Kashmiri chili powder preferred)
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tsp roasted cumin seeds, crushed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt to taste (start with 1 tsp)
  • Optional: 1 small onion, grated
  • For garnish and serving: fresh coriander leaves, sliced onions, lemon wedges, green chutney or mint yogurt dip (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the beef cubes and pat them dry with paper towels (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, mustard oil, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, black pepper, crushed cumin seeds, lemon juice, and salt. Add grated onion if using. Whisk until smooth and well blended (10 minutes).
  3. Add beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  4. Prepare the grill: light charcoal grill and wait until coals are white-hot or preheat stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat (10-15 minutes).
  5. Thread marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving space between pieces (5 minutes).
  6. Grill kebabs for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully until outside is charred and inside is juicy. Use a meat thermometer to check for 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or cook longer if desired (12-16 minutes).
  7. Remove kebabs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with onion slices and lemon wedges.

Notes

Marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for best flavor and tenderness. Use mustard oil for authentic taste. Avoid overcooking to keep kebabs juicy. Let kebabs rest after grilling to redistribute juices. Bamboo skewers should be soaked in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
