Ingredients

For the gnocchi and steak bites

  • 0.5 kg steak ( 1 lb)
  • 100 g fresh gnocchi (1 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon ground black pepper

For the tzatziki

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup grated cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • juice from one lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • To marinate the steak, cut into into bite-sized chunks and add it to a bowl.
  • Mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt and pepper, and coat the beef with it.
  • Leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  • Thread on a skewer one beef chunk, then one gnocchi, and continue to alternate until you use up all the ingredients - you can get 4-5 skewers.
  • Grill for 2 minutes or until the beef is cooked to your liking, and the gnocchi is soft.
  • To make the sauce, use your hands to lightly squeeze the excess liquid from the grated cucumber, then add it to a bowl together with the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, mint, salt and pepper.
  • Give it a good stir, and refrigerate until ready to use.
