Best 2 Beef Kefta Patties With Cucumber Salad Recipes

BEEF KAFTA KABOBS

Steps:

• Place ground beef in a large bowl.
• Add onion, garlic and parsley to a food processor and process until very finely minced scraping down sides as needed. Mixture should almost start to liquefy (just past the point of a very fine mince).
• Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl with the beef and add all the spices.
• Mix well using clean hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high heat (450-500°F) and lightly grease the grates with a high smoke point oil like avocado oil.
• Remove the beef mixture from the refrigerator and form the beef into an oblong shape on skewers (*see note). Using 6 to 8 skewers, repeat until beef mixture is used up.
• Carefully place each skewer on the preheated and greased grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes.
• Gently flip skewers when meat pulls away from the grates easily and grill marks have formed on the bottom. Grill on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
• Transfer the kabobs to a plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
• Pour any accumulated juices over the kabobs when serving and enjoy with your favorite sides.
