In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, parsley, green onion, and spices. Mix well until fully combined, but don’t overwork the meat to avoid toughness.
2 lb ground beef (80/20), ½ bunch fresh parsley, 4 green onions, 1 tablespoon baharat , 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon garlic, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Divide the mixture into equal portions and mold them around metal or wooden skewers, shaping them into elongated cylinders.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the kofta for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. It’s really important to keep rotating them consistently so that they cook evenly. Mr. Hungry had our kebabs on the grill for 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy your beef kofta with pita bread, hummus, tzatziki, rice, or a fresh salad.
