Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground beef with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Form into 8 oblong patties and thread onto metal skewers (or soak wooden skewers 10 min first).

  2. Step 2

    Cut bell peppers and onion into 1-inch chunks. Thread onto separate skewers, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until smoking. Sear beef skewers 4 minutes per side without moving — edges should char.

  4. Step 4

    Push beef to one side. Add pepper skewers to the pan and sear 3 minutes per side until charred and tender.

  5. Step 5

    Warm rice in a microwave or on a second burner. Arrange rice on plates, top with kebabs, peppers, and tzatziki.

  6. Step 6

    Serve with fresh greens, avocado, and a squeeze of lemon. Eat warm.

Tools you’ll need
