SPICED BEEF KEBABS
One of my most vivid memories of going to college in Bombay was heading out with my friends late at night to eat kebabs. Once or twice a week, we'd drive to the south side of the city and enjoy a feast of hot, succulent pieces of seasoned beef, chicken, or lamb, served with thin flatbreads and fresh chutney. Shami kebabs are usually made with ground lamb or beef, dried herbs, and chickpea flour for the binding agent; they don't require skewers and are cooked in large flat-bottomed woks. This recipe is inspired by the shami kebabs. Serve them with pickled red onions, hot green chutney, or raita. When making kebabs (or even burgers, for that matter), I often prefer dried herbs because they contain very little to no water and are more potent in flavor than their fresh counterparts. Here the coriander enhances the heat of the chile peppers.

Steps:
- In a large bowl mix the beef, onion, egg, chickpea flour, chiles, garlic, ginger, lime juice, cayenne, coriander, mint, cinnamon, sage, dill, and salt. Divide into fourteen equal parts and shape into 1-inch [2.5-centimeter] disks.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the kebabs in batches, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Transfer the kebabs to a serving plate, garnish with the cilantro, and serve with the pickled red onions.
- Put the onions and cilantro in a clean 1 pint [480 milliliters] canning jar with a tight-fitting lid. In a small, dry cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet, toast the coriander seeds over medium-high heat, until fragrant, swirling the seeds occasionally so they toast evenly, 30 to 45 seconds. Toss the seeds into the jar with the onions. Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Seal the jar and shake a few times. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Makes 1 cup (220 grams).
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For tender and flavorful kebabs, opt for a well-marbled cut of beef like sirloin, rib eye, or tenderloin.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a flavorful marinade made with yogurt, spices, and herbs.
- Skewer the beef properly: To prevent the beef from falling off the skewers, skewer it tightly against the grain.
- Cook the kebabs over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the beef and keep it juicy on the inside.
- Don't overcook the kebabs: Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Cook the kebabs until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve the kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce: A yogurt-based sauce, tzatziki sauce, or chimichurri sauce are all great options.
Conclusion:
Spiced beef kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. By following these tips, you can make sure your kebabs are tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So fire up the grill and enjoy!
