Ingredients

  • For the Marinade:
  • 1 lb (450 g) beef or chicken, cut into skewers or bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For Grilling:
  • Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Add the beef or chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat well.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Prepare for Grilling

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers.

Grill the Mshakiki

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the meat pieces and the heat of the grill.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
