For the Beef Kabobs:
- 4 top sirloin steaks about 2 pounds, defrosted and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup olive oil more for garnish
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon Primal Palate Super Gyro Blend
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt more for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives for garnish
For the Tzatziki (regular):
- 3/4 cup full-fat, grass-fed, Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons grated & drained fresh cucumber water squeezed out
- 1 clove garlic finely grated
- Pinch fine sea salt
For the Tzatziki (dairy-free and Paleo):
- 1/2 cup thick cream from a can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice more if needed to thin
- 3 tablespoons grated & drained fresh cucumber squeeze the water out
- 1 clove garlic finely grated
- pinch fine sea salt
For the kabobs, place all the ingredients, minus the chives, in a large bowl. Stir to combine and let marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Heat a grill to 300 F, spear the pieces on metal skewers, and grill for 5 minutes on each side. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Note: you can follow this same method via a grill pan on the stove, just be sure to grease the pan first.
For the traditional and Paleo-friendly tzatziki: whisk the ingredients together and set aside until ready to serve. Note: for the coconut milk-based tzatziki, you may need to whisk vigorously until all lumps are out. Add more lemon juice or even water until you get the consistency you like.
Serve the kabobs with an additional drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, and fresh chives next to the tzatziki.
Enjoy!
