How to Make Spicy Grilled Beef Kabobs

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer (up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
  3. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the prepared skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill the kabobs for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Turn frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  6. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your delicious Ottoman-inspired feast!
