Step 1
Grate the 1 onion and squeeze out excess liquid. In a bowl, mix the grated onion, 1 lb ground beef, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 0.25 tsp baking soda until well combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion around a flat metal skewer, pressing firmly into a long, thin sausage shape about 6 inches long.
Step 3
Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are glowing and covered with white ash. Place the skewers over the hottest part of the grill.
Step 4
Grill the kebabs for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until nicely charred on the outside and cooked through (no pink in the center).
Step 5
Slide the kebabs off the skewers onto a plate. Serve hot with rice, bread, or grilled tomatoes.
