Beef Kebabs – FAQs: 

What cuts of beef are used for your kebabs? 

We use premium cuts of beef, such as fillet steak, for our beef kebabs to ensure every bite is tender, juicy, and packed with rich flavour. Fillet steak is known for its exceptional softness and fine marbling, making it perfect for quick, high-heat cooking methods like grilling or roasting. Our kebabs offer a melt-in-your-mouth texture while maintaining the bold, meaty taste that beef lovers crave. Whether you’re searing them over an open flame or roasting them in the oven, our fillet steak beef kebabs deliver quality every time.

How should I cook beef kebabs for the best results? 

For juicy, flavourful beef kebabs, grilling is one of the best methods. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even charring and cooking. This method enhances the smoky, grilled flavour while keeping the beef tender. 

Alternatively, if using an oven, preheat to 200°C (180°C fan) and roast the kebabs for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through. This method is great for achieving a consistent cook while keeping the meat moist. For extra flavour, consider marinating the beef before cooking or basting with butter or oil during grilling to enhance juiciness and tenderness. 

How do I prevent beef kebabs from drying out on the grill? 

To keep your beef kebabs juicy: 

• Marinate the Meat: Marinating not only adds flavour but also tenderises the meat and helps retain moisture during grilling.
• Preheat the Grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to around 240°C. A hot grill sears the meat quickly, locking in juices.
• Monitor Cooking Time: Turn the skewers every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent the meat from drying out. 

For a simple marinade, combine yogurt, lemon juice, and your preferred spices. Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

What are some recommended side dishes to serve with beef kebabs? 

Beef kebabs pair beautifully with many flavourful side dishes that enhance their smoky, grilled taste. Here are some great options: 

• Potato Salad: A creamy, tangy potato salad balances the rich, charred flavours of beef kebabs.
• Couscous: Light and fluffy, couscous absorbs seasonings well and pairs perfectly with Mediterranean-inspired kebabs.
• Jacket Potatoes: A hearty choice, baked potatoes with butter or sour cream add a comforting touch to your meal.
• Grilled Vegetables: Peppers, zucchini, and onions bring smoky, caramelised flavours that complement beef.
• Rice or Quinoa: A simple, well-seasoned rice or quinoa dish provides a wholesome, balanced side.
• Flatbreads: Warm pita or naan makes a great addition, perfect for wrapping around the kebabs with sauces like tzatziki or chimichurri. 

These sides help create a well-rounded, satisfying meal that enhances the flavours of grilled beef kebabs.

How do I ensure even cooking of beef kebabs? 

For even cooking, ensure the beef kebabs are evenly spaced on the grill, allowing heat to rise around each piece. Turn them frequently to achieve a consistent sear on all sides. If grilling with vegetables, be mindful of their cooking times as softer vegetables like peppers and onions cook faster, while firmer ones may need pre-cooking. Avoid pressing down on the kebabs, as this can release juices and dry out the meat. For more grilling tips, check out our guide on preventing meat from sticking to the BBQ.

Should I use direct or indirect heat when grilling beef kebabs? 

Both direct and indirect heat can be used when grilling beef kebabs, depending on the cut and thickness of the meat: 

• Direct Heat: Ideal for smaller, tender cuts like fillet steak kebabs. Cooking over high heat creates a quick sear, keeping in juices whilst keeping the inside tender.
• Indirect Heat: Best for thicker kebabs or tougher cuts that require slower cooking to break down connective tissues and enhance tenderness. Start on indirect heat to cook through, then finish with a quick sear over direct heat for added flavour.
