A simple and authentic halal BBQ recipe using Zabiha meat, featuring a flavorful marinade and grilling technique that brings out smoky, tender, and juicy meat perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless lamb or beef cuts, trimmed and cubed (preferably lamb shoulder)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, coriander powder, turmeric, red chili flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended (about 5 minutes).
  2. Marinate the meat: Add the cubed Zabiha meat to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill: For charcoal, heat until coals are glowing red with a light layer of ash (20-30 minutes). For gas grills, preheat on medium-high for 10-15 minutes. Oil the grill grates with a brush and olive oil.
  4. Skewer the meat (optional): Thread marinated meat cubes onto skewers for even cooking and easier flipping. If not using skewers, place pieces directly on the grill.
  5. Grill the meat: Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to develop a nice char while keeping the inside juicy. Use a meat thermometer to check for 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare lamb or 160°F (71°C) for beef. Add onions in the last 5 minutes if using.
  6. Rest the meat: Remove from grill and let rest on a clean plate for 5-7 minutes to redistribute juices.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the meat. Serve with warm flatbreads, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad.

Notes

Marinate overnight for best flavor; resting the meat after grilling is essential to keep it juicy. Use indirect heat for thicker cuts to avoid drying out. Oil grill grates well to prevent sticking. Can be adapted for gas grills, grill pans, or oven broilers. For a vegetarian version, substitute meat with marinated tofu or portobello mushrooms.
