Tips for Experienced Cooks

To elevate the dish, consider adding smoked paprika to the beef marinade for a deeper, smoky flavor that complements the tandoori masala. For the mint chutney, a splash of coconut milk can soften the sharpness of the green chili and add a creamy texture. Experiment with the grilling time based on your grill's characteristics and desired level of char on the beef. Resting the meat for a few minutes before serving can help retain its juiciness.

Step 1: Marinate the beef

In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the beef cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb beef cubes

Step 2: Make the mint chutney

In a blender, combine the mint leaves, cilantro, green chili, red onion, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to make the mint chutney.

  • 1 cup mint leaves
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 1 green chili
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Step 3: Grill the tandoori beef

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to your liking.
