Directions for: Spiced Beef and Chicken Kabobs with Cucumber Yogurt
Ingredients
Yogurt Sauce1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Persian cucumber, finely chopped
Kosher salt
Kabobscup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp ground coriander
tsp ground cumin
tsp ground turmeric
tsp ground allspice
3 Tbsp olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb(s) beef sirloin tip, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 lb(s) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
12 mixed-color baby bell peppers (about 8 oz)
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Yogurt Sauce1. Stir together the yogurt, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Add salt to taste. Refrigerate while the meat marinates. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
Kabobs1. Mix the yogurt, cilantro, coriander, cumin, turmeric, allspice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the beef and chicken (you can separate them into 2 bowls if you prefer) and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
2. Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
3. Toss the peppers and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
4. Thread the chicken and beef onto separate skewers (about 5 pieces of meat per skewer), threading a piece of onion between each piece of meat--for even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skewers. Use 2 skewers to thread the peppers, to make them easier to turn. (Make 4 double skewers with 3 peppers each.)
5. Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on the outside and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes for the beef (medium-rare), 10 to 12 minutes for the chicken, and about 12 minutes for the vegetables.
6. Serve the kabobs with lemon wedges and the yogurt sauce on the side.
