Step 1
Mix ground beef, minced onion, parsley, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Divide mixture into 8 portions and mold each around a metal skewer, forming a 5-inch cylinder with your hands.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Sear kofta skewers 2 minutes per side without moving. Meat should be browned and charred on the outside.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate and let rest for 1 minute before serving. Drizzle with lemon juice if desired.
