INGREDIENTS:
225g (8oz) *lean beef grilling/frying steaks
1 x 15ml sp (1tbsp) coriander seeds
2½ml sp (½ tsp) black peppercorns
1 x 15ml sp (1tbsp) fresh thyme
1 x 15ml sp (1tbsp) olive oil
1 lime rind and juice
Pinch of chilli powder

METHOD:
· Place coriander seeds, black peppercorns and fresh thyme in a large bowl and crush together.
· Add olive oil, rind and juice of lime, a pinch of chilli powder and mix together to make the marinade.
· Place beef cut into 2½cm (1inch) cubes, into the marinade ingredients, cover and refrigerate.
· Marinate for approximately 30 minutes to 4 hours.  (The longer you leave the meat marinating, the more intense the flavour will be).
· Thread the meat onto the skewers (if wooden pre-soak to prevent burning).  Cook under a preheated grill or barbecue for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
· Pile these crunchy skewers onto a bundle of noodles and finish with a generous helping of yoghurt mixed with spring onion and cucumber.

* Suitable cuts:  sirloin, rump, topside steaks.
