Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Grate the 1 medium onion and squeeze out excess liquid. Mince the 2 garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, garlic, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Shape the mixture into 8 oval patties, about 1 inch thick. If using skewers, mold the meat around them. Chill for 10 minutes to help them hold together.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F).

  4. Step 4

    While kebabs cook, make the sauce: stir together the 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped mint, and 1 sliced green onion. Season with a pinch of salt.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the hot kebabs with the yogurt sauce and sprinkle with remaining mint and green onions.
