A flavorful and easy-to-make Moroccan-inspired beef skewer recipe, perfect for grilling.
Combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, and all the spices in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the mixture makes it easier to shape onto the skewers.
Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Wooden skewers are less likely to burn if soaked beforehand.
With damp hands, shape portions of the meat mixture around the skewers, forming elongated sausage shapes.
Damp hands prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Ensure the grill is well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Serve the skewers hot with your choice of bread or side dishes.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness.
