Baked Beef Kofta Kebabs
My take on the classic kofta kebab and I’m baking them in the oven! Yep. In this recipe I’m using minced beef and other wonderful herbs and spices.
Servings: 10 kebabs
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 chili , chopped
- 2 tablespoon chopped coriander
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 lemon zest
- 2 teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon salt , or to your taste
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1.1 lb minced beef (500 gr)
- some cooking oil spray , for spraying before baking
- 10 skewer sticks , soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a chopper, add in chopped red onion and garlic cloves. Blend into a fine paste. Pour into a bowl. Add in the rest of the ingredients except the minced meat. Mix everything well.
- Add in minced beef and mix everything together. Don't over work the meat to avoid the kofta kebabs turning tough.
- Grab some meat mixture and wrap it around 2 skewer sticks, making around 4 inches (10 cm) length of kofta kebab. Do the same with the rest of the meat to get total of 10 kofta kebab. You can wrap the exposed part of the skewers with aluminium foil to avoid them getting too burnt.
- Place kofta kebab in a baking tray narrow enough so that the skewers are sitting on the rim of the tray and the meat doesn't touch anything (refer to the video) and spray with a bit of cooking oil.
- Preheat your oven to 480ºF (250ºC) with the broiler on (heat from the top) and put the tray on the upper third rack. Bake until nicely charred and fully cooked, around 4 minutes depending on your oven temperature.
- Serve with some flatbreads or rice, and some mint yogurt. Enjoy!
