Persian Beef Shish Kabob

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Persian Beef Shish Kabob.

1. Step 1

   Start by cutting the beef tenderloin into bite-sized cubes, about 1 by ½ inch, and toss them into a large mixing bowl.

2. Step 2

   Next, add in the chopped onion, a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice, and season with salt and black pepper.

3. Step 3

   Give everything a good mix, ensuring each piece of beef is beautifully coated in the marinade.

   Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight.

5. Step 5

   This allows the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender and delicious.

   When you're ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to keep those tasty morsels from sticking.

   Now, it’s time to skewer the marinated beef cubes.

8. Step 8

   Thread 6 to 8 pieces onto each skewer, making sure they’re snug but not overcrowded.

9. Step 9

   Discard any leftover marinade, as the beef is all set to shine on its own.

10. Step 10

    Place the skewers on the hot grill and let them cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

11. Step 11

    You’re aiming for a total grilling time of 12 to 16 minutes.

12. Step 12

    To ensure your beef is perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
