Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into cubes
- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup chutney
- Skewers, for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the meat by cutting beef sirloin into 1-inch uniform cubes, ensuring even sizing for consistent cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine beef cubes with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to coat the meat evenly with seasoning and let marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, prepare vegetables by cutting bell pepper, onion, and zucchini into similarly sized chunks that will cook evenly on skewers.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- Thread marinated beef and vegetable chunks alternately onto skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces to ensure proper heat circulation.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat, around 400-450°F, and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place prepared kabobs on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating to achieve even char and cooking beef to medium-rare or desired doneness.
- While grilling, warm the chutney in a small saucepan or microwave to enhance its flavor and create a smooth serving consistency.
- Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute within the meat.
- Serve hot, drizzling chutney sauce over kabobs or placing it on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Meat Matters: Choose a tender cut like sirloin and cut it into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Marination Magic: Don't rush the marinating process. Letting the beef sit with curry powder, salt, and pepper for 15-20 minutes allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Skewer Strategy: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. Alternate meat and vegetables for a beautiful presentation and balanced flavor.
- Grill Temperature is Key: Aim for medium-high heat (400-450°F) to get a perfect char without drying out the meat.
- Rest and Redistribute: Always let your kabobs rest for 3-5 minutes after grilling. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful.
- Chutney Tip: Warm the chutney before serving to enhance its flavor and create a smoother consistency for drizzling or dipping.
