Best Spicy Meat Kebabs Recipes

SWEET-AND-SPICY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, Sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Add the beef and onion and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Thread the beef, onion and scallions onto eight 10-inch skewers and brush with more oil. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until marked, about 7 minutes for medium rare.

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.
• Combine the garlic, paprika, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper, and red wine vinegar in the bowl of a food processor. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil. Pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat. Place in an airtight container or a zip-top plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. Thread the meat onto the skewers, leaving about 1/2 inch between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with the lid lowered, for 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 MEAT KEBABS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients except the oil in a large bowl and mix together with fork.
• Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.
• Light the barbecue fire or grill.
• Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions, shaped each portion into a sausage about 5cm/2inches long, squeezing each sausage firmly to make it as compact as possible.
• Brush 4 kebab skewer and push through sausage, moulding them firmly on the skewer.
• Brush kebab all over with oil and place on the grill.
• Cook kebab over the hot coal for 7-10 minutes, turning frequently.
• Serve garnished with lemon slices.

SPICED GROUND MEAT SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, sumac, salt, Urfa pepper, black pepper, and cinnamon, if using.
• With your hands, thoroughly knead and massage the meat to incorporate the ingredients, about 4 minutes. Breaking down the meat will create a sticky, cohesive mixture that results in a pleasing springy texture. You can also combine everything in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, in which case it will take only about 2 minutes. Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Wet your hands with cold water, then divide meat into 6 equal portions and mold each around a metal or soaked bamboo skewer (see Tip). Transfer skewers to a large plate or baking sheet. You can grill them right away at this point, or cover and refrigerate them while preparing the grill (up to 4 hours).
• Heat the grill to high. When the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil, and add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with more herbs, sumac and flaky sea salt, and serve.

SPICY CHICKEN KEBABS

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.
