2 lbs lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 cup chopped parsley
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp coriander
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
Store-bought tzatziki
Chopped cucumber
Red onions (soaked in lemon juice)
Feta
Chopped fresh mint
Greek style pita bread
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together all of the beef kebab ingredients until fully combined. Use your hands to really work the mixture so it’s uniform and well-seasoned.
Transfer the beef mixture onto the lined sheet pan and press it into an even rectangle — aim for about 3/4 inch thick. You want it thick enough to hold its shape but not so thick that it won’t cook through evenly.
The
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, slice the beef mixture into long kebab-style strips, about 1–1˝ inches wide. No need to separate them — they’ll bake and pull apart easily after.
Bake for 15–16 minutes, or until the kebabs are fully cooked through.
For a crispier finish, switch the oven to broil on high for the last 1–2 minutes. Keep a close eye so they don’t burn.
Serve hot with pita, tzatziki, and your favourite fresh toppings like cucumber, feta, mint, and pickled red onion.
