Share:
Ingredients
- 2.25 lbs ground beef 80% Lean
- 0.5 yellow onion
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 Inch piece ginger
- 1 large bunch cilantro
- 2 green chillies (see notes)
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon garam masala optional
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Grind all the ingredients except the meat in a food processor.
- Squeeze the moisture out of the mixture and then add to the ground beef.
- Knead the meat mixture for 5 minutes.
- Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- To insure that the seasoning is to your personal taste take a ½ teaspoon of the mince mixture and cook it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed before making all of the kabab.
- For grilling, place the kebab on the skewers and grill (see notes)
- For the other methods, first shape the Kebabs and par-bake them in the oven at 400 degrees farenheit for 10 minutes.
- To finish cooking them:a. Broil them on high in the oven for 5-10 minutes, turning halfway through to brown evenly.b.Cook on a grill pan for 5-10 minutes to complete the cooking process.c. Pan Fry in some oil for 5-10 minutes on each side.d. Air Fry at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through
Notes
- Green chilies - I use serrano peppers for this recipe, and the quantity above is for a mild kebab. If you think this will be too spicy, deseed the serrano peppers. If you like the kebab on the spicy side, double the quantity used or use Thai chilies instead.
- Red chili powder - This quantity is for mild kebabs. Adjust according to your taste.
- Grilling the kabab -
- To grill the kebabs outdoors, shape them on a flat skewer. First, form a round ball and slide the skewer through it. Then, start squeezing the meat while rotating the skewer to create a thin, long kebab.
- Place the skewered kebab in the fridge for 15 minutes before grilling. The fat will solidify and prevent the kebab from falling off the skewers.
- Preheat the grill to medium and place the kebab on it. Cover the grill and cook for 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high, uncover the grill and cook for 5 more minutes, turning the kebab periodically to get a nice even char.
