Step 1
Mix ground beef, minced onion, parsley, cumin blend, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined—don't overwork.
Step 2
Divide meat into 4 portions and mold each around a metal skewer, pressing into a dense cylinder.
Step 3
Place skewers on a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 6–7 minutes, turning halfway, until charred and cooked through.
Step 4
While skewers broil, stir yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl—this is your sauce.
Step 5
Slide kofta off skewers onto a plate. Drizzle yogurt sauce over top and serve hot.
