Beef Kebabs

Add the spices to a small bowl and whisk to blend together.

Place the ground beef, spice blend, chopped garlic, and chopped onions in a large bowl.

Mix the ingredients together to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to give the seasonings time to bloom.

Form the seasoned beef into a log shape (long cylinder shapes).

Skewer the kafta meat with the wooden skewers (or metal skewers), squeezing the mixture to mold it to the skewer.

Place the kabobs on a hot grill pan over medium-high heat and cook for 5-6 minutes.

Kabobs can also be cooked in a 350-degree oven for 15-18 minutes.
