SPICY BEEF KEBABS
Steps:
- Cut the beef into 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch cubes and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor combine the garlic, paprika, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. With the processor running drizzle in the olive oil.
- Pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag and allow to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto the skewers leaving about 1/2-inch in between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with lid lowered, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all (8 minutes for rare and 12 for medium). Remove from the heat to aluminum foil, wrap and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.
SPICY BEEF KEBABS
Although many cuts, from the round to the chuck, have kabob potential, I believe the sirloin primal best delivers that perfect balance of beefy flavor and meaty texture that you expect from something as elemental as a kabob. I also like sirloin because it's very easy to fabricate in the home kitchen environment. Oh, and if you've ever heard that story about King Henry VIII having knighted this cut of meat, thus making it Sir Loin, that's crazy talk. The sir comes from the French for "under." Sirloin actually means "under the loin." This recipe first appeared in Season 9 of Good Eats.Photo by Lynne Calamia

ORANGE CHICKEN KEBABS WITH FRIED STICKY RICE BALLS RECIPE BY TASTY
Orange chicken is always great, but it's even better paired with sticky rice balls and fried to golden brown perfection. These skewers are great for dinner, or to pass around as a party snack. The marinade works double duty here - use half to flavor the chicken and reduce the other half to make a sticky glaze to brush over the finished kebabs.

Steps:
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, then transfer to a medium bowl, cover with water, and soak for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- While the rice is soaking, marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the orange juice, chicken stock, orange zest, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. 3. Transfer half of the marinade to a large bowl, setting the rest aside.
- Add the chicken thighs to the large bowl of marinade. Toss to coat, then cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Drain the rice, then add to a heavy-bottomed pot with the water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed. 6. Remove the pan from the heat, keeping covered, and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the rice into 20 1-inch (2 ½ cm) balls, then place on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Add the reserved marinade to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce by half, about 4 minutes.
- Combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and the water in a small bowl, then add to the reduced marinade and whisk to combine, until the sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining ⅓ cup (40 G) cornstarch, the flour, and salt.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the flour mixture. Toss until well coated.
- Leaving ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) of space at the top, alternately thread 2 rice balls and 2 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, allowing them to touch.
- Fry the skewers in the hot oil, a few at a time, for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Brush the skewers with the sauce.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

SPICY ORANGE BBQ SAUCE
Tangy and sweet, this sauce is a great compliment for grilled chicken or ribs. The longer you let it simmer, the spicier it will taste. The trick to this sauce is to start with the basic ingredients and then gradually add more of your favorite spice until you reach YOUR desired taste. I like it spicy but you might prefer it sweet. Be careful with the orange zest because it will overwhelm the other flavors if you use to much.

Steps:
- Grind the garlic, ginger, orange zest and spring onions to a paste in a food processor. Add the honey, orange juice, soy sauce and oil, then blend again. Pour the mixture over the cubed chicken and leave to marinate for at least 1 hr, but preferably overnight. Toss in the mushrooms for the last half an hour so they take on some of the flavour, too.
- Thread the chicken, tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers onto 20 wooden skewers, then cook on a griddle pan for 7-8 mins each side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Turn the kebabs frequently and baste with the marinade from time to time until evenly cooked. Arrange on a platter, scatter with chopped spring onion and eat with your fingers.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe oranges. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have cayenne pepper, you can use another type of chili pepper, such as paprika or chili powder. However, be careful not to use too much, as it can make the kebabs too spicy.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the kebabs in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to grease the skillet well so that the kebabs don't stick.
- Serve the kebabs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include tzatziki sauce, hummus, or mango chutney.
