Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chopped onion, and parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Kefta

    With your hands, shape the mixture into small patties or oval-shaped kebabs, about 2-3 inches long.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Kefta

    Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the formed kefta on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the kefta is cooked, remove them from the grill. Serve them in pita bread or sandwich bread, and top with yogurt sauce if desired.
