Israeli Beef Kebab with Tahini Rice & Salad

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp mixed cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper
• 2 medium (about 1 lb total) bell peppers and red onion
• 1.5 cups brown rice (cooked)
• ½ cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or plain yogurt + lemon + dill)
• 2 cups mixed greens with avocado
• 1 whole (halved) lemon

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix ground beef with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Form into 8 oblong patties and thread onto metal skewers (or soak wooden skewers 10 min first).

2. 2

   Cut bell peppers and onion into 1-inch chunks. Thread onto separate skewers, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until smoking. Sear beef skewers 4 minutes per side without moving — edges should char.

4. 4

   Push beef to one side. Add pepper skewers to the pan and sear 3 minutes per side until charred and tender.

5. 5

   Warm rice in a microwave or on a second burner. Arrange rice on plates, top with kebabs, peppers, and tzatziki.

6. 6

   Serve with fresh greens, avocado, and a squeeze of lemon. Eat warm.
