Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground beef with cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a bowl until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Divide beef into 4 portions. Mold each tightly around a metal skewer, creating a 5-inch log shape.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Stir tahini with lemon juice and 2 tbsp water until pourable. Drizzle over kebabs.

  6. Step 6

    Serve kebabs with hummus on the side, lemon wedges, and fresh parsley.
