Equipment
- Shallow dish or resealable plastic bag
- grill
- meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 1 pound filet mignon steak
- 1/8 teaspoon saffron infused with 1/2 tablespoon of pure mountain spring water
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
- Begin by thinly slicing a large onion. In a bowl, create the marinade by combining the sliced onion with olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, black pepper, and a saffron-water mixture. This flavorful blend will be the key to marinating the filet mignon.
Step 2: Cut and Marinate the Filet Mignon
- Cut the filet mignon into bite-sized cubes or strips. Place these pieces into the prepared marinade, ensuring each one is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2-4 hours. This time allows the meat to absorb the vibrant flavors from the marinade.
Step 3: Preheat the Grill
- Before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's ready to achieve the perfect sear on the kababs.
Step 4: Thread and Grill
- Thread the marinated filet mignon pieces onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking. Grill the kababs on each side for about 5-7 minutes or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Brush the kababs with any remaining marinade during cooking to enhance the flavors.
Step 5: Rest the Kababs
- Once the kababs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful outcome.
Step 6: Serve Hot
- Present the Kabab Barg hot, garnished with additional lime wedges and fresh herbs if desired. This final touch adds brightness and freshness to the dish, enhancing both its visual appeal and overall taste.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh, high-quality beef for the best results.
If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. - If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the kabab barg in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the skewers for 15-20 minutes.
- For a spicier version of this dish, add some cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- You can also substitute chicken for the beef in this recipe.
