Step 1
Grate the 0.5 medium onion and mince the 2 garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine the 1 lb ground beef, grated onion, garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer into a long, oval kebab shape, about 6 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 3
Brush the kebabs with the 1 tbsp olive oil. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Cook the kebabs for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 160°F).
Step 5
Rest the kebabs for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy hot with your favorite sides.
