Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (80% lean, preferably freshly ground)
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion (Finely diced)
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley (Packed, finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Paprika (Smoked paprika optional for extra depth)
  • 0.5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil (Extra-virgin, for mixing and brushing)
  • 0.25 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (Optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prep the aromatics

    Dice the onion finely, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley. Set aside in a small bowl.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Combine meat and seasonings

    In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes (if using), and olive oil. Mix with hands until just combined; avoid over‑mixing.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Press mixture onto sheet pan

    Line the sheet pan with parchment paper. Transfer the meat mixture onto the pan and press it into an even, rectangular slab about 1‑inch thick using your hands or a flat spatula.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Portion into kebabs

    Using a sharp knife, cut the slab into eight equal rectangles (approximately 3‑inch wide). Transfer each piece onto a plate; they will hold their shape during baking.

    Place the sheet pan on the bottom rack of a pre‑heated oven at 425°F. Bake for 10 minutes.

    Time: PT10M

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: Broil

  7. Rest and serve

    Remove the pan from the oven, let the kebabs rest for 1 minute, then serve hot in pita, on a sandwich roll, or with a side salad.

    Time: PT1M

cultural
Q

What are the traditional regional variations of kebabs in Middle Eastern cuisine?

A

Regional variations include Turkish şiş kebab (skewered cubes), Persian koobideh (ground meat on flat skewers), Lebanese kafta (spiced ground meat with pine nuts), and Greek souvlaki. Each version uses local spices and herbs, but the core concept of seasoned meat remains consistent.

cultural
Q

How is kebab traditionally served in the Levant region?

A

In the Levant, kebabs are often served on warm pita bread with fresh herbs, sliced onions, tomatoes, and a drizzle of tahini or garlic sauce. They are also accompanied by rice or tabbouleh as part of a mezze spread.

cultural
Q

What occasions or celebrations feature kebabs in Middle Eastern culture?

A

Kebabs are popular at family gatherings, Ramadan iftars, outdoor picnics, and festive celebrations such as Eid al‑Fitr and Eid al‑Adha, where grilling outdoors brings people together.

cultural
Q

What makes this sheet‑pan kebab recipe special compared to traditional grilled kebabs?

A

This recipe adapts the classic kebab to an indoor sheet‑pan method, allowing you to achieve a juicy interior and a caramelized crust without a grill. It’s ideal for cold weather when outdoor grilling isn’t practical.

cultural
Q

What are the most common mistakes to avoid when making sheet‑pan kebabs from Feelgoodfoodie?

A

Common mistakes include over‑mixing the meat (which makes it tough), pressing the slab too thin (causing it to dry out), and broiling for too long (which burns the top). Follow the critical points and watch the broiler closely.

technical
Q

Why does this Feelgoodfoodie kebab recipe bake at 425°F before broiling instead of grilling directly?

A

Baking at 425°F cooks the kebabs evenly through the center while keeping them moist. The final broil adds the traditional char and caramelization that you would get from a grill, all without needing outdoor equipment.

technical
Q

Can I make these kebabs ahead of time and how should I store them?

A

Yes, you can mix the meat and spices up to 24 hours ahead and keep refrigerated, or press the raw slab onto a lined pan, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to two months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

technical
Q

What texture and appearance should I look for when the kebabs are done?

A

The kebabs should be firm to the touch, with a deep golden‑brown crust on top and an internal temperature of 160°F. When sliced, the interior should be pink‑red but not raw.

technical
Q
