Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss beef cubes with cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high until smoking, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Thread beef onto metal skewers, then sear 2–3 minutes per side without moving. Meat should be deeply browned outside, rare to medium-rare inside.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk tahini, lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, salt, and minced garlic until pourable. Add water as needed.

  5. Step 5

    Warm rice in a small pot or microwave until steaming, about 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Plate rice, arrange skewers on top, surround with onion, tomato, cucumber, fresh herbs, and grapes. Drizzle tahini sauce over everything.
