Sirloin Kebabs with Southeast-Asian-Style Spice Paste

These aromatic sirloin beef kebabs bring the vibrant, punchy flavours of Southeast Asia straight to your grill. The homemade spice paste combines fresh lemongrass, heat-flecked jalapeño chillies and savoury sesame oil to create a marinade that is both fragrant and deeply satisfying. Using lean sirloin makes this an excellent choice for those seeking a lighter, protein-rich meal without compromising on bold, complex tastes.

This diabetes-friendly dish is remarkably versatile, fitting perfectly into a healthy weekday routine or as part of a sophisticated weekend barbecue. The combination of fresh ginger and garlic offers a natural warmth that complements the succulent beef perfectly. Serve these skewers alongside a crisp green salad or some lightly charred courgettes for a balanced, low-carb dinner that feels truly indulgent.
