Equipment

  • 1 Grill (Holzkohle oder Gas) oder Grillpfanne
  • 1 Metallspieße oder Holzspieße (gewässert)
  • 1 Schneidebrett und Messer
  • 1 Rührschüssel für Marinade
  • 1 Kleiner Kochtopf für Chakalaka
  • 1 Holzlöffel
  • 1 Zange

Ingredients
  

FOR THE BEEF SKEWERS:

  • 500 g Beef tenderloin or rump steak cut into cubes about 3 cm in size
  • 2 Tablespoon of olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves grated
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin ground
  • 1 teaspoon of cilantro ground
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Salt and black pepper
  • juice of half a lemon

FOR THE CHAKALAKA RELISH:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 Onion fein gewürfelt
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger grated
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 2 Carrots coarsely grated
  • 1 red chili pepper finely chopped (to taste)
  • 400 g kidney beans can, drained
  • 400 g chopped tomatoes can
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt Pepper and sugar to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

FOR THE SIDE DISHES:

  • Fresh white bread or cornbread Pap
  • Fresh cilantro
  • lemon wedges

Instructions
 

PREPARATION:

  • For the marinade, combine olive oil, garlic, cumin, cilantro, paprika, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Add the beef cubes to the marinade, mix well, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours—preferably overnight.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn on the grill.

COOKING STEPS:

  • To make the chakalaka relish, heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onions over medium heat for 5 minutes until golden brown.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and chili, and sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the bell pepper strips and grated carrots, and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the curry powder and paprika and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the kidney beans and chopped tomatoes, mix everything well, and simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Keep warm.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • Thread the marinated beef onto the skewers and grill over direct heat for 3–4 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness.
  • The skewers should be slightly charred on the outside and still juicy and pink on the inside.
  • Let it rest for a moment.

SERVE:

  • Serve the chakalaka relish on a deep plate or in a bowl.
  • Place the braai skewers on top of or next to it.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges.
  • Serve cornbread or white bread on the side.
  • Serve immediately—braai tastes best straight off the grill.

SIDE DISHES:

  • South African cornbread (pap)
  • Grilled corn on the cob with butter
  • Fresh green salad with citrus dressing
