Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt (for salad)
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (for salad)

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into an elongated oval around a skewer, pressing firmly to secure the meat.

Step 4

Brush the beef kabobs lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef kabobs for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides and fully cooked through.

Step 6

While the kabobs are cooking, prepare the tomato mint salad. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh mint leaves, and finely sliced red onion.

Step 7

Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, then toss gently to combine.

Step 8

Serve the spiced beef kabobs hot, alongside the refreshing tomato mint salad. Optionally, garnish with additional mint leaves for presentation.
