Step 1
Mix ground beef with 0.5 tsp salt, cumin, and black pepper until just combined—don't overwork.
Step 2
Form beef mixture into 6–8 oblong patties or meatballs and thread onto skewers (or shape into kebab-style logs).
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches if needed, sear kebabs 4–5 minutes per side until deeply charred and cooked through.
Step 5
Whisk tahini, lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable.
Step 6
Serve kebabs over warm rice, drizzle with tahini sauce, and top with fresh parsley.
Tools you’ll need
