METHOD:
For the Tabouli
In a large mixing bowl, pour the water over the cracked wheat.
Cover and allow to stand for about 20 minutes until wheat is tender and water has absorbed.
Add the chopped herbs and vegetables and toss with the cracked wheat.
Combine the oil, lemon juicE and salt in a separate bowl.
Add to wheat mixture and mix through well to combine, chill.
For the Kebabs
Combine the steak and all of the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, but no longer than 12 hours.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for a few hours before using so they don't burn.
Preheat the barbecue to high.
Layer each skewer by spearing 1 beef cube followed by 1 piece of onion, and repeat 3-4 times. Season the kebabs to taste.
Barbecue the kebabs, turning them occasionally and cook until desired, ensuring not to overcook as meat will dry out.
To Serve
Serve with lemon wedges, tabouli salad, yoghurt, pita bread and coriander.
