Ingredients
- 1pound ground beef, 80/20or 1/2 pound ground beef, 1/2 pound ground lamb
- 3/4 cup grated onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1teaspoon salt
- 1teaspoon sumac
- 1teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1teaspoon turmeric, divided
- 1/8teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add ground beef, onions, cilantro, salt, sumac, coriander seeds, turmeric, and black pepper. Using your hands, mix spices and herbs into meat until well combined.
- Using a fist-size portion of meat, wrap the meat around a metal kabob skewer and spread it out approximately 5-6-inches long. Set aside until all skewers are complete. If you don’t have metal skewers, use the handle of a wooden spoon to create a hole in the center of the meat. (This helps to cook the meat evenly.) Gently pull the meat off of the handle and repeat until all meat is used.
- If using an outdoor grill or countertop grill, make sure it is very hot (approx. 300°) before adding the kabobs. Lay kabobs in a single row. Grill 4-5 minutes or until it is nicely browned, turn kabobs over and continue to grill an additional 4-5 minutes or until kabob meat cooked through.
- Remove from heat and serve with grilled tomato, basmati rice, Maast-O Khiar, and Torshi for a beautiful Persian meal.
Recipe Notes
Recipe Notes:
- Using ground beef with 80/20 fat content creates a juicer kabob because of the higher fat content.
- Many Persian Kabob recipes use a combination of beef and lamb for those who like the taste of lamb.
