Step 1
Mix ground beef with cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Divide beef into 4 portions. Mold each tightly around a metal skewer, creating a 5-inch log shape.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 4
Sear kebabs without moving them until deeply charred on one side, 3 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until cooked through, 3 minutes more.
Step 5
Stir tahini with lemon juice and 2 tbsp water until pourable. Drizzle over kebabs.
Step 6
Serve kebabs with hummus on the side, lemon wedges, and fresh parsley.
