Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation of the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, parsley, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Forming the Kebabs

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and mold them around the soaked skewers, forming elongated kebabs. Ensure the mixture is tightly packed to prevent it from falling apart while grilling.

  3. 3

    Preheating the Grill

    Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the coals are glowing red with a light coating of ash.

  4. 4

    Grilling the Kebabs

    Lightly brush the kebabs with olive oil. Place them on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char on the outside.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with fresh pita bread, salad, or your favorite sauce.
