For the Beef Kafta

Method

For the Beef Kafta

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kafta Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kafta

    Shape the mixture into oval patties or kebabs about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Grill the Kafta

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the kafta for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
