A delicious bbq beef and pineapple kebab recipe.

Moderate

Ingredients

  • 1 pineapple, peeled and cut into rings (reserve the bottom for the base)

  • 400g beef (rump, sirloin, or eye fillet)

  • 200ml sticky BBQ sauce (homemade or leftover ham glaze)

  • Yoghurt Flatbread (makes 6 breads):

  • 240g Greek yoghurt

  • 200g self-raising flour

  • Extra flour for rolling

  • Spicy Mayo:

  • 200g full egg mayonnaise

  • 2 tbs smoked paprika

  • 4 tbs chilli sauce

  • Ham Glaze (optional):

  • 200g brown sugar

  • 1 bottle of beer (or Guinness)

  • Juice of 1 orange

  • 1 jar of any jam

  • Any leftover pineapple

  • Star anise, cloves, and cinnamon (to taste)

Method

  • Cut the beef into pieces that are twice as thick as the pineapple circles.

  • Use the reserved bottom of the pineapple as a base and stack the beef and pineapple rings onto skewers.

  • Generously coat the kebabs with the sticky BBQ sauce.

  • Preheat the BBQ to medium heat. Cook the kebabs for 25-30 minutes, basting every few minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your BBQ.

  • Once cooked to your liking, let it rest for a few minutes, then carve the beef.

  • Place the carved beef and pineapple in the yoghurt flatbread and drizzle with spicy mayo.

  • Yoghurt Flatbread:

  • In a bowl, add the yoghurt and sift the flour on top. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  • Cover the dough with cling wrap and let it rest for 20 mins.

  • After resting, remove the dough from the bowl and knead for a few mins.

  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into your desired thickness.

  • Heat a pan and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 mins on each side until golden.

  • Ham Glaze (Optional):

  • In a saucepan, combine all ingredients.

  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 mins until thickened.

  • Spicy Mayo:

  • Combine all ingredients and shake well.
