Juicy Sheet Pan Middle Eastern Beef Kebabs

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (lean or 80/20)
• 1 onion (small, finely grated or minced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.25 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all seasonings are evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Transfer the seasoned meat mixture to a rimmed baking sheet.

4. 4

   Spread the meat into an even, flat layer across the baking sheet using your hands or a spatula.

5. 5

   Using a knife or a bench scraper, make vertical and horizontal cuts into the meat to create rectangular kebab shapes, similar to how they look at a restaurant.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly browned on top.

7. 7

   Serve the kebabs warm, optionally with a yogurt spread and a fresh salad as recommended by the author.

Notes

The author suggests serving this with a yogurt spread and a fresh salad. The recipe is a sheet-pan adaptation of traditional kebabs (like Kofta or Lule) to make it easier for home cooks.
