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.
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
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Metal or wooden skewers (soaked if wooden)
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.
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.
