Grilled Ground Beef Kebabs (Kofta)

Step 1

Combine all ingredients (ground beef through ground black pepper) in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 2

Separate the mixture into 5-6 balls. Roll each into a log about 1.5 inches thick and 5-6 inches long. Insert a skewer through each log. Place on a baking sheet or cutting board and refrigerate for 30 minutes (this part is important to ensure the meat holds together when they are grilled).

Step 3

Heat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for 3-4 minutes on first side and then flip and grill for an additional 3 minutes, making sure to watch them as to not overcook. Remove from grill and serve immediately with hummus and/or tzatziki.
