Marissa's MediterraneanSucculent beef skewers marinated in a vibrant blend of garlic, ginger, and warm spices, served with a cool, zesty yogurt dip. A perfect fusion of Ethiopian-inspired warmth and Mediterranean freshness.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, cumin, and coriander.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, tossing well to coat every piece. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
The longer it sits, the more those warm spices soak in!
Thread the marinated beef onto small wooden skewers, about 3-4 pieces per skewer.
Preheat a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until charred on the outside and cooked to your preferred doneness.
While the beef rests, mix the Greek yogurt with the chopped mint and a pinch of salt in a small serving bowl.
Arrange the skewers on a platter, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds for a vibrant crunch, and serve alongside the minty yogurt dip.
If you can't find pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries or even a little extra lemon zest work beautifully to keep that vibrant pop of flavor. Make sure to soak your wooden skewers for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent charring!
