Kebabs

Wow it's been quite a while since I've last uploaded anything on here. I've still been cooking, but the uploading part... well I've been busy a lot with university. Thank god it's the summer break now! I'm so happy! So anyway, for today's recipe I'm sharing with you how to make kebabs. It's not the traditional kebabs that one can buy at Mr. Kebab or other Persian restaurants. This one is a mix of the different recipes I found over the internet with a touch of my choice herbs and spices.

Beef tenderloin/any soft beef part cut into cubes
Zucchini cut into circle-y things
Tomatoes (not the big ones that can be seen in commercials of tomato sauce)
Red onions

Marinade: (Just mix together)
Lotsa crushed garlic
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
thyme

Directions:

1. Marinate the beef in the marinade for about an hour or so
2. Then on a skewer/bbq stick just stick in a small red onion, a tomato, and some beef cubes
3. When the grill/griddle is very very hot, put the stick on and baste with the marinade for a minute or so on both sides (just to sear the outside and get those nice burn marks)
4. Move it then to a less hot area of the grill/griddle (not leesssssssss hot; just on medium heat) until the meat is cooked, which if the size of your cubes are similar to the ones on the photo (you can infer by comparing it to the size of the tomatoes, zucchini, and onions beside it), is in about 15-20 minutes; depending if you want yours rare, med
5. Do the same to the zucchini slices
