Moroccan Beef Kebab / Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 1/2-2 lbs beef stew meat, less than 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/2 small onion, grated
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1. 1

   Cut any large pieces of meat in half so they will cook faster. Then place the beef cubes in a medium bowl. Chop the parsley & add it to the beef, set aside to be used later.

2. 2

   Pour the olive oil in a small glass bowl. Add the spices, vinegar & tomato paste, stir until well blended. Grate the onion & add it to the oil mixture.

3. 3

   Stir the mixture in with the beef until it is well coated. Cover with a lid & place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.

4. 4

   Place the beef on skewers, leaving a little gap between each piece. Grill on each side until the meat is no longer pink inside, between 10-15 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve with thick bread instead of utensils. (Moroccans eat most of their food with their right hand, using only bread to scoop up the meal).
