Omani Mishkak

Spiced beef skewers grilled over charcoal at the roadside.

Ingredients

• 800 g Beef
• 1 Onion
• 5 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Omani spice mix
• 1 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 3 tbsp Vinegar
• 3 tbsp Oil
• 2 tsp Salt
• 12 Skewers

Method

1. Cut small — Cube the beef into small even pieces so they cook fast over fierce heat.
2. Marinate — Blend the onion, garlic, spices, vinegar and oil and coat the meat; rest 4 hours.
3. Thread — Push tightly onto skewers so the pieces protect each other from drying.
4. Grill hot — Cook over glowing charcoal for 6 minutes, turning constantly.
5. Mishkak is ready — Serve straight off the skewer with flatbread and chili sauce.
