Description

Delicious grilled beef kebabs flavored with spices, onions, and fresh parsley.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • 1 lb ground beef (use lean or medium lean; don’t use extra lean)
  • 1 tbsp Baharat spice mix
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Process. In a small food processor, pulse the chopped onion and parsley until fine.
  2. Mix. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion and parsley mixture, spices, salt and pepper. Mix really well. See the note below on how to check the seasoning level.
  3. Form. Form the meat mixture into oblong shapes. Don’t make them too thick. 1 inch (2cm) thickness works well. You can freeform them, or form them onto a skewer.
  4. Grill. Preheat your BBQ or grill pan on medium-high heat. Spray or brush the hot grill with some neutral oil and cook the beef kebabs for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through. The internal temperature should be at least 165F.

Notes

  • Adjust the spices according to your taste preference.
  • Make sure to check the internal temperature of the kebabs to ensure they are thoroughly cooked.
