Beef Boti Kabab is a tender and flavorful South Asian dish made with marinated cubes of beef infused with aromatic spices and grilled or roasted to juicy perfection. These smoky, bold skewers are perfect for barbecues, family dinners, and festive gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin or boneless beef, cut into 1–1 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Cut the beef into evenly sized cubes, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches each.
  2. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Add the beef cubes to the marinade and mix thoroughly to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 6–8 hours for best tenderness.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading.
  5. Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, leaving slight space between pieces.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C) or preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  7. Grill for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until desired doneness. For oven cooking, place skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway through.
  8. For extra char, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight enhances flavor and tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd skewers to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; medium doneness is 145°F (63°C).
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze cooked kababs for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.
