Description
These Ground Beef Kebabs are juicy, well-seasoned, and perfect for grilling. With a blend of warm spices, garlic, and fresh herbs, they’re deliciously savory and easy to shape onto skewers or cook as patties. Serve with flatbread, rice, or salad for a crowd-pleasing meal.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
1 small onion, finely grated or minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Metal or wooden skewers (soaked if wooden)
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.
