Step 1
Mix ground beef, minced red onion, cumin, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Divide meat into 4 portions and mold onto skewers or into patties. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers.
Step 3
Sear kebabs 3–4 minutes per side without moving. Crust should look dark brown; meat stays juicy inside.
Step 4
Remove kebabs. In the same skillet, press rice patties flat and sear 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 5
Whisk tahini with lemon juice, 3 tbsp water, minced garlic, and salt until pourable. Taste and adjust.
Step 6
Plate rice, top with kebabs, drizzle tahini sauce, and scatter fresh parsley over top. Serve hot.
