Ingredients

300 grams	lamb or beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium	onion, grated
2 cloves	garlic, minced
2 tablespoons	olive oil
1 tablespoon	tomato paste
1 teaspoon	ground cumin
1 teaspoon	ground paprika
1 teaspoon	dried oregano
1 teaspoon	salt
0.5 teaspoon	black pepper
2 tablespoons	plain yogurt
—	wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

1. 1 In a large bowl, combine the grated onion, minced garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, ground cumin, ground paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and plain yogurt.
2. 2 Add the lamb or beef cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated.
3. 3 Cover the bowl and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
4. 4 If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
5. 5 Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
6. 6 Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
7. 7 Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and nicely charred on the outside.
8. 8 Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
