- Cover and refrigerate the meat mixture for at least 1-2 hours to marinate.
- To form the kebabs, first wet your hand with water so the mixture won’t stick to your hand, then scoop out a medium size ball of the meat mixture and pierce it through a wooden skewer, then spread the meat on the skewer with your hand. Starting from the top push down on the meat, press your middle finger in a diagonal angle down the beef skewer to make the signature grooves on the kebab. Repeat the process on both sides until you get the desired shape.
- Heat your griddle pan/skillet over medium heat, then brush the pan with a little cooking oil.
- Add the kebabs to the pan and cook, flipping them to brown all around. (3-4 minutes on each side). Also, brush the kebabs with oil while cooking, if necessary. You can cook 4-5 kebabs at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
- Serve them with some fresh salad and naan/paratha/pita bread.
- This recipe makes 8-10 medium sized kebabs.
