Instructions

6 steps

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, tomato paste, cumin, coriander, 1.5 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.

2
Add the meat cubes to the marinade, tossing well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum tenderness.
3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, alternating tightly with chunks of red onion and bell pepper.
4
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5
Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes total, turning a quarter turn every 2 minutes, until the meat is browned on the outside with a slight char, but remains pink and juicy inside (medium doneness).
6
Transfer the kebabs to a platter, tent loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with pita and garlic sauce.
