Minced Beef Kebab

Place the chopped onions, cilantro, and chilies in a food processor and blend until finely chopped.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and ground spices (garam masala powder, red chili powder, black pepper, cumin powder) and mix thoroughly.

Add the onion-cilantro mixture, crushed ginger and garlic, lime juice, and olive oil to the ground beef and mix well.

Take handfuls of the mixture and shape them into small patties.

For grilling: Preheat the grill thoroughly, whether charcoal or gas. Once hot, place the kebabs on the grill and cook each side for 4-6 minutes.

For oven cooking: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and grease it. Place the kebabs on it and insert the sheet pan into the center rack of the oven. Broil on high heat for 10 – 15 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness (I set them for 12 minutes).
