  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1.5 pounds beef tri-tip, sliced 1/8- inch thick

Instructions

In a gratin dish, whisk harissa with yogurt and kosher salt. Add beef slices and turn to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes; 2 hours is ideal.

In a bowl, combine cucumber, red onion, olives and mint leaves, and season with sea salt. Thread meat onto metal skewers.

Drizzle skewers and cucumber salad with olive oil. Serve with hummus and lemon wedges.
