From The Georgian Feast
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch cubes [stew beef will work
as well]
1 large onion, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt
3 black peppercorns, crushed
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed [or 2 teaspoons garlic powder]
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 1/4 cups olive oil
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
tomatoes, scallions
Directions
Place the meat cubes in a large bowl. Mix together thoroughly
the onion, salt, peppercorns, garlic, and herbs [in a separate bowl]. Combine
the olive oil and lemon juice, and stir in the onion mixture. Pour over the
meat. Marinate overnight, preferably for 24 hours.
Put the cubes on skewers and grill over hot coals for about 10 minutes, turning
once. The meat should still be pink inside.
Serve garnished with tomato wedges and scallions.
Note: This goes well with cilantro sauce.
