Grilled Meat Skewers (Mtsvadi)

Grilled Meat Skewers, or Mtsvadi, bring the rich traditions of Georgian cuisine to the table with marinated beef, pork, or chicken that is skewered and grilled to succulent perfection. These skewers offer a savory taste experience, thanks to a marinade of vinegar, oil, herbs, and spices that permeates the meat, creating a satisfying and smoky flavor. Pair these skewers with refreshing salad, grilled vegetables, or rice to create a complete and hearty meal well-suited for any barbecue or outdoor gathering, ensuring a delightful dining experience.

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef, cut into chunks
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the beef chunks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
4. Thread the marinated beef chunks onto skewers, spacing them evenly to ensure even cooking.
5. Grill the skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with your preferred side dishes.
