Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2-2 lbs beef stew meat, less than 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 small onion, grated
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Cut any large pieces of meat in half so they will cook faster. Then place the beef cubes in a medium bowl. Chop the parsley & add it to the beef, set aside to be used later.
  • Pour the olive oil in a small glass bowl. Add the spices, vinegar & tomato paste, stir until well blended. Grate the onion & add it to the oil mixture.
  • Stir the mixture in with the beef until it is well coated. Cover with a lid & place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.
  • Place the beef on skewers, leaving a little gap between each piece. Grill on each side until the meat is no longer pink inside, between 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve with thick bread instead of utensils. (Moroccans eat most of their food with their right hand, using only bread to scoop up the meal).
