Ingredients
  

  • 500 gram of ground beef (80% lean to 20% fat)
  • 2 tablespoon of unsalted butter
  • cup of chopped parsley
  • cup of chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 medium of grated onion
  • 2 tablespoon of grated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon of cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon of allspice powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon powder
  • ¾ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions
 

A. Using Wooden Skewer

  • Add the ground beef, spices, herbs, and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix it using your hand.
  • In each skewer, use your clean hand to get a small portion of the kofta meat mixture and shaped them into a long cigar-shaped. Set aside to prepare to transfer them in an oven tray
  • Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F. Cover the tray with aluminum foil, and brush them with oil to prevent sticking into the tray.
  • Place the kafta kebab on the tray, and transfer into the oven. Baked it for 15 minutes in the middle rack of the oven
  • Once done, transfer the tray into the upper third rack of the oven. Broil the kebab for 5 minutes to make the kebab brown.
  • Lastly, once done broiling the kofta kebab, remove it from the tray, and serve it with yellow rice OR flatbread AND any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean salads.

B. Without using the Wooden Skewer

  • Like the same step using with a wooden skewer, mix the ground beef and the rest of the ingredients using your hand.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F. Adding aluminum foil to the tray is optional
  • Transfer all the kafta meat into the baking tray. Use your hand to shape the meat into a long cylindrical shape. In a separate tray, shaped the rest into a meatball, or whatever you prefer.
  • Follow the steps as similar to Step 4A to Step 6A

Notes

  • If your oven does not have a broiling setting, adjust the temperature to 240 C
  • This Kebab is best to serve with yellow or spiced rice, salads, pita bread and white yogurt garlic sauce
