Kenyan Style Beef Kebab

Cultural Context

Kenyan style beef kebabs, known as Nyama Choma, are a beloved street food and a staple at gatherings and celebrations in Kenya. Traditionally, the beef is marinated and grilled over an open flame, creating a smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables. These kebabs are often enjoyed with ugali or kachumbari, a fresh tomato and onion salad. Today, variations can be found globally, showcasing the universal appeal of grilled meat.

1

Chop onion, bell pepper, and spring onions roughly.

2

Chop coriander and add to the mini processor with the chopped vegetables.

3

Add 2 cloves of garlic to the processor and chop everything together.

4

Transfer the chopped fresh ingredients into a mixing bowl.

5

Add 3/4 Kg of minced meat to the mixing bowl.

6

Add the chopped fresh ingredients to the minced meat.

7

Add paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, bread crumbs, and a little bit of milk.

8

Add salt and massage all the ingredients together until fully combined.

9

Roll the minced meat into rod-like shapes, ensuring they are not too thick or too thin.

10

If the meat is sticky, wet your hands to make rolling easier.

11

If the meat is still sticky, add more bread crumbs to absorb the milk.

12

Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high flame.

13

In a bowl, crack 3 eggs and whisk until fully combined.

14

In another bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper, and mix together.

15

Coat each kebab in the flour, then dip in the egg wash, and carefully drop into the hot oil.

16

Fry the kebabs for 1 to 2 minutes per side, flipping with a skimmer.

17

If the oil is too hot, reduce the heat to medium-low to ensure the kebabs cook through.

18

Transfer cooked kebabs to a plate lined with kitchen paper towel to drain excess oil.

19

After cooling, add a second layer of egg wash to the kebabs.

20

Fry any remaining minced meat as a small meatball.

21

Once all kebabs are done, present them on a plate.
