👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Thinly slice the beef fillet against the grain into long, flat pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. Pound lightly if needed to achieve an even thickness.
2. In a bowl, combine the beef slices with finely grated onion (or just its juice), olive oil, bloomed saffron (saffron soaked in a tablespoon of hot water), and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
3. Mix well to ensure all meat is coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for the flavors to meld.
4. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef slices onto skewers, folding them accordion-style if they are very long, ensuring they are tightly packed.
5. Grill the kebabs for about 3-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are beautifully charred on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness inside. Be careful not to overcook them.
6. Serve immediately, typically with saffron rice (chelow), grilled tomatoes, raw onions, and a sprinkle of sumac.
