Ingredients for Asian Beef Tikka
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- Serrano Chilies
- Yellow Onion
- Garlic Cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

How to Make Asian Beef Tikka
- Combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2-3 serrano chilis (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 medium onion (roughly chopped), 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until a smooth paste forms (about 1 minute).
- Pour the paste into a large mixing bowl.
- Add 1 lb ground beef to the paste. Mix thoroughly until the beef is evenly coated and begins to turn brown.
- Preheat your electric grill (like a George Foreman) for 5 minutes.
- While the grill preheats, shape the beef mixture into 12 small sausages (approximately 2 inches long).
- Place the tikka sausages on the preheated grill.
- Grill for 7-8 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred, flipping halfway through.
- Transfer the cooked tikka to a casserole dish with a lid to keep warm, or serve immediately.
- Serve with 1 cup plain yogurt (for dipping), toasted bread, roti, naan, or your favorite flatbread. Ketchup or other preferred sauces can also be used as dips.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
