Cooking Tips

• For more tender beef, you can marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the beef to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the kebabs on a stovetop grill pan or under the broiler in the oven.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover beef kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The pomegranate couscous can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the kebabs in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
• Serve the beef kebabs with pomegranate couscous as a main dish or as part of a buffet-style spread.
