This recipe is from the April/May 2011 issue of Gourmet Traveller WINE.

Place beef in a bowl, add paprika, cumin and oil, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat barbecue or cast-iron griddle pan to medium heat. Thread beef onto skewers with capsicum. Add extra oil to barbecue and cook skewers, turning occasionally, and baste with remaining marinade, for about 8-10 minutes or until beef is tender. Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
