Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups cooked saffron rice
  • 1 large tomato

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grate the 1 medium onion and squeeze out excess liquid. In a bowl, mix the grated onion, 1 lb ground beef, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp salt until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the mixture into 4 oval kebabs around skewers or form into patties. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the kebabs for 4-5 minutes per side, until nicely charred and cooked through (no pink inside).

  4. 4

    While kebabs cook, slice the 1 large tomato and grill alongside for 2-3 minutes until softened and lightly charred.

  5. 5

    Serve the kebabs over 2 cups cooked saffron rice, with the grilled tomato on the side.
