👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, grated onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, salt and black pepper, add the meat cubes and toss until all are coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Take the meat cubes out of the fridge 30 minutes before grilling.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  3. 3
    Arrange the meat cubes in a single layer on a rack set over a baking sheet.
