Introduce the recipe and ingredients.

Use pre-cut Halal beef cubes.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, dry oregano, and a hint of cumin to the beef.

Mix the spices with the beef and add a tad of extra virgin olive oil.

Skewer the beef onto the skewers, optionally adding vegetables (but the creator prefers just beef).

Place the skewers on the grill and cook to medium (about 130 degrees internal temperature).

Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for 140 degrees.

Prepare basmati rice by washing it until the water is clear.

Cook basmati rice using a 2:1 liquid to rice ratio (2 cups liquid for 1 cup rice).

Season the cooked rice with cumin, curry powder, and onion powder, and mix well.

Optionally add olive oil or ghee to the rice.

Plate the cooked basmati rice and place the kebabs on top.

Remove the skewers from the kebabs after plating.

Drizzle the Halal Cacciatore sauce over the kebabs and rice.
