Print Recipe

Grilled beef kofta kebabs are a flavorful Middle Eastern dish made with ground beef and aromatic spices. These skewers are easy to prepare and perfect for a high-protein dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
  4. Shape each portion around a skewer into a long, thick kebab shape. Press firmly so the meat holds well on the skewers.
  5. Grill the kofta kebabs for 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning carefully, until nicely charred on the outside and fully cooked through.
  6. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with extra chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • For extra juiciness, use ground beef with 15-20% fat content.
  • Serve with pita bread, hummus, or a yogurt-based sauce.
