Grass-Fed Beef Cumin

Instructions

Kebabs: Combine olive oil, onion, tomato puree, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add beef cubes and toss to coat. Marinate at room temp at least 20 min or refrigerate overnight.
Thread 3–4 pieces of beef onto skewers, alternating with scallion pieces.
Onion salad: Toss onion, olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, and salt in a bowl. Massage gently by hand, then stir in mint.
Preheat grill to 450°F or heat a grill pan over medium-high. Oil lightly with avocado oil. Grill skewers 4–5 min per side until beef is cooked through and scallions are charred. Serve with onion salad on the side.
