Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 tsp paprika
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1 cup greek yogurt
240g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1.50 lb beef
680g
3 carrots
180g
1/2 cup almonds
60g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g
1/3 cup currants
55g

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and turmeric powder.
2. Add the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and olive oil to the bowl. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.
3. Add the beef cubes into the marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. Prepare the Carrot Salad:
1. While the beef is marinating, peel and grate the carrots into a medium bowl.
2. Add the toasted and roughly chopped almonds, chopped coriander leaves, and currants to the bowl with the carrots. Mix well to combine. Set aside.
3. Grill the Beef Skewers:
1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers.
4. Once the grill is hot, place the beef skewers onto the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is charred and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
4. Serve:
1. Transfer the cooked beef skewers to a serving platter.
2. Serve the skewers hot with the carrot salad on the side.

Tips:

- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

- For even more flavor, marinate the beef overnight in the refrigerator.

- Grill the skewers on medium-high heat to ensure the beef is cooked through but still tender.

- Use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips of carrots for a visually appealing salad.

- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the salad for an enhanced nutty flavor and extra crunch.

- Mix the salad just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and the vegetables crisp.

Enjoy these spiced beef skewers with carrot salad as a nutritious and flavorful meal. The aromatic spices combined with the freshness of the salad create a balanced and delightful dish. Serve it as a main course or a robust appetizer to impress your guests or simply to treat yourself. Happy cooking!
