Ingredients
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless beef sirloin
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
Directions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch cubes and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the red wine vinegar and pulse to combine. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until a smooth marinade forms.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes and toss well to coat evenly. Transfer to an airtight container or sealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto metal skewers, spacing them about 1/2-inch apart. Place the skewers on the grill, lower the lid, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, for a total of 8 to 12 minutes, until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare doneness.
Transfer the cooked kebabs to aluminum foil, wrap loosely, and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
