Brazilian beef kebabs
Heat setting:
4 burner barbecue
Pre-heat for 5 minutes to 260 degrees
All burners on high (lid closed to heat)
Ingredients:
1kg beef rump steak
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 crushed garlic clove or 1
tsp garlic (pre-minced)
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Chille flakes to liking
Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Remove any excess fat on edge of meat and cut rump steak into thin strips and place in marinating bowl. Strips should not be wider than 2 centimetres or 8 centimetres long.
- Combine oil, orange juice, garlic, cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper in a glass or ceramic bowl. Mix well and poor over sliced beef in mixing bowl and stir ensuring flavours cover all meat.
* Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours to marinate. - Set the barbecue burners to high and bring the temperature to 260 degrees. This should take around 5 minutes depending on outdoor temperature. Once it reaches the desired temperature, turn all four burners to low.
* With all four burners on low, the temperature should remain somewhere close to 260 degrees. - Thread the beef onto metal skewers and place in a tray ready to transfer to the barbecue.
*If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes otherwise they can burn. - Cook the skewers on the bottom grill on the barbecue for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. If you want to speed up the process, you can cook your skewers with the hood down.
- Place skewers on serving tray, squeeze some lemon over the meat, a pinch of chilli (or to your linking) and serve.
