Any change in the procedure, if I use beef in stead?

[irfandama]

@AkHafiz If you use beef instead of chicken, there will be changes. Firstly, you will have to use a very tender cut of beef, designed for grilling. Flank steak, skirt steak, Rib eye, tenderloin or New york strip. Secondly, you will have to cut the steak to a size that makes it appropriate for skewering and grilling. It might also help to pound the meat before skewering, to tenderize it.

Marinate stays the same, but papaya will help tenderize the meat even further. Hope this helps.

no pre-heat oven ?

[irfandama]

@SuperSkylimt I apologize. I must have neglected to include that in the video instruction. Please consider it as implied. Thanks.

@chikshumikshu Hey there Chikshumikshu, thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the kababs.

Every oven has it's own quirks and issues. I guess it's best to figure out how each oven works, and work along with it. The only thing that matters is that you enjoy the end product.

Thanks again, and Happy eating.

Hi Irfan,

I tried out this recipe and it turned out superb.

I did keep the oven door open,but it was taking too long to cook.............

Thank u
