Authentic Beef Kebabs

First, soak a dozen wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.

In a large bowl, use your hands to thoroughly mix the ground beef, egg, vegetable oil, finely chopped onion, and garlic.

Then, add the breadcrumbs, fresh mint, and spices to the meat mixture. Mix well.

With your hands, using about 60 ml (¼ cup) of meat, shape the kebabs around a previously soaked wooden skewer. Gently press the ground meat around the skewer to form a elongated and uniform shape. Repeat the process until all the meat mixture is used.

For cooking, grill the kebabs for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be sure to turn the kebabs halfway through the cooking time. Alternatively, you can cook the skewers on a cast-iron grill pan or in an oven preheated to 400 °F (200 °C).

For serving, distribute the labneh or Greek yogurt onto the naan bread or pita bread and place two kebabs on each bread. Add the desired amount of sumac-marinated onions, Jerusalem salad, and fresh mint, coriander, basil, or parsley leaves.
