1
Finely chop the curly parsley using a food processor and set aside. Quarter the yellow onion and finely chop it using the same food processor.
2
Squeeze the chopped onion gently to remove excess moisture and mix it with the chopped parsley in the food processor.
3
Add the ground beef, Baharat spice blend, cayenne pepper, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse a few times until well combined and the mixture forms a homogeneous meat paste.
4
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and shape the Kofta into oblong patties about 1 inch in thickness. Optionally, shape them around wooden skewers for an authentic touch.
5
Prepare a gas grill or indoor grill pan by greasing the grates and preheating it to medium-high heat.
6
Once heated, place the beef Kofta patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
7
Serve the Lebanese Beef Kofta hot off the grill with your choice of side dishes.
