Beef Testi Kebab

Step 1

Cut the 1.5 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add 0.5 cup yogurt, 1 tsp chili flakes, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the beef marinates, cook 1 cup rice according to package instructions until fluffy, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

For the relish, dice 1 medium tomato and mix with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil (from the 2 tbsp). Set aside.

Step 4

Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, pressing cubes together. Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.

Step 5

Brush the skewers with the remaining olive oil and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until charred on the outside and medium-rare inside (internal temperature 135°F).

Step 6

Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes, then serve over the rice with the tomato relish and extra chili sauce on the side.

Step 7

For a spicier kick, stir extra chili flakes into the yogurt marinade before grilling.
