Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt (for salad)
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (for salad)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until evenly incorporated.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into an elongated oval around a skewer, pressing firmly to secure the meat.
Brush the beef kabobs lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef kabobs for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides and fully cooked through.
While the kabobs are cooking, prepare the tomato mint salad. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh mint leaves, and finely sliced red onion.
Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, then toss gently to combine.
Serve the spiced beef kabobs hot, alongside the refreshing tomato mint salad. Optionally, garnish with additional mint leaves for presentation.
