Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium yellow onion (quartered)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley (washed and patted dry)
  • 600 grams ground beef (lean)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon seven spice (pre-mixed spice blend)
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne (more to taste)

Instructions

  2. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and combine it with the ground beef, salt, black pepper, seven spice, and cayenne.
  3. Mold a handful of the mixture around skewers, ensuring the meat is about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  4. Preheat your charcoal or gas grill to medium-high and brush the grates with oil.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, consider using wood or flavored charcoal when grilling outdoors. These kebabs can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to grill.
