Directions

  1. Combine ground beef, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix gently just until evenly combined. Form into elongated kofta around skewers or shape into free-form oblong patties. Grill or cook on the BlueStar griddle over medium-high heat, turning to develop deep browning on all sides, until the centers reach 160°F. Rest briefly before serving. Serve with warm pita, tzatziki or yogurt sauce, tomato-cucumber salad, rice, or roasted potatoes.

Equipment

Wüsthof IKON Chef’s Knife; Asahi Hi-Soft cutting board; BlueStar 24-inch griddle or outdoor grill; skewers if using; tongs; instant-read thermometer.

Food safety & storage

Cook ground beef to 160°F. Refrigerate promptly and use within 3–4 days. Reheat gently until hot throughout; store sauces and fresh accompaniments separately.

Keep something good cooking.
