Ingredients
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
-
1 small onion, finely grated or minced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
-
1 tsp ground cumin
-
1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp ground coriander

Instructions
-
Mix ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined—don’t overwork the meat. -
Shape kebabs:
Divide mixture into 4–6 portions and shape each into a long oval or sausage-like shape around a skewer. Press firmly so the meat sticks well. -
Preheat grill:
Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. -
Grill kebabs:
Grill kebabs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through (internal temp of 160°F). -
Serve:
Remove from grill and rest for a few minutes. Serve with tzatziki, hummus, flatbread, or over a salad.
Notes
-
You can add a bit of breadcrumbs or egg if you need help binding the meat.
-
Try adding mint or chopped chili for a twist.
-
These also cook well in a grill pan or under the broiler.
