Beef Kofta Kebabs

Grate the onion using a box grater. Place the grated onion in a paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent the kebabs from falling apart.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, squeezed grated onion, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.

Use your hands to mix the ingredients just until combined. Do not overwork the meat, or it will become tough.

Divide the meat mixture into 4-6 equal portions. Mold each portion tightly around a skewer, forming a long, sausage-like shape (about 1 inch thick). Press firmly so the meat adheres to the skewer.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely charred on the outside and cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
