Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean but well-marbled ground beef (15-20% fat)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8–10 wooden or metal skewers

Optional Variations

  • 1/4 tsp chili powder or 1 sliced jalapeño (for Spicy Kick)
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint or cilantro (for Herbal Twist)
  • 1/4 cup small cubes of feta or mozzarella (for Cheese Stuffed kababs)
  • 1 cup spiced textured vegetable protein or seasoned mushrooms (for Vegetarian Swap)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tsp sesame seeds (for Asian Flair)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop the onions, garlic, and parsley. Measure out all ground spices to ensure smooth mixing.
  2. Mix the Meat and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onions, garlic, parsley, salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and gently mix with your hands until evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep kababs tender.
  3. Shape the Kababs on Skewers: Take small portions of the mixture and mold around each skewer, pressing firmly to hold shape. Ensure uniform thickness for even cooking.
  4. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to avoid sticking.
  5. Bake the Kababs: Arrange the skewers on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to brown evenly while maintaining juiciness.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove kababs from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.

Notes

  • Use beef with 15-20% fat content for optimal juiciness.
  • Do not overmix the meat to avoid dense kababs.
  • Shape kababs uniformly for even cooking.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Let kababs rest after baking to retain moisture and tenderness.
