Step 1
Mix ground beef, minced onion, parsley, spice blend, and salt in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Divide meat into 4 equal portions. Mold each firmly onto a metal skewer, forming a 6-inch-long log.
Step 3
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear kebabs 3–4 minutes per side without moving. Surface should char; meat stays juicy inside.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate. Squeeze lemon over the top and rest for 2 minutes before serving.
