Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp, finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground turmeric
- 0.25 tsp (optional) red chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp, for cooking olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, and cilantro.
Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 2 cm (0.75 inches) thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in the skillet in batches, to avoid overcrowding, for about 4-5 minutes per side or until browned on the outside and cooked through in the middle.
Remove cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, with flatbread, a fresh salad, or a dollop of yogurt sauce for a complete meal.
