These Sumac Beef Kabobs are bold, juicy, and bursting with the bright, lemony tang of sumac. Tender sirloin cubes are marinated with olive oil, garlic, and spices, then grilled to smoky perfection. The sumac not only adds a vibrant Middle Eastern flair but also helps tenderize the beef, creating a flavorful crust with each bite.
Perfect for summer grilling or indoor grill pans, these kabobs pair wonderfully with rice, salads, or flatbreads, making them a versatile dish that fits casual dinners or festive gatherings alike.
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sumac, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Tip: Bring beef to room temperature for 20–30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, spacing them slightly to allow for even heat circulation.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates if needed. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes to sear all sides, until the beef is charred outside and cooked to your preferred doneness.
Internal Temp Guide:
Remove kabobs from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon and your choice of sides.
