Learn how to make delicious ground beef kabobs on the grill. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef (80% lean for juiciness)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional but adds brightness)
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

If you’re looking to switch things up, ground lamb or turkey can be a nice alternative. For a gluten-free option, just double-check your Worcestershire sauce, some brands contain gluten. And if fresh herbs aren’t on hand, a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary can work wonderfully.

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F. If you’re using charcoal, let the coals burn until covered with white ash.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. I like to use my hands here—there’s something grounding about feeling the mix come together, just like Mama Lu taught me.
  3. Mix gently until everything is evenly incorporated. Don’t overwork the meat; you want it to stay tender and juicy.
  4. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long, sausage-like shape around your skewers, pressing firmly so the meat adheres well. This step is key—if the meat is too loose, kabobs will fall apart on the grill.
  5. Place the kabobs on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, turning carefully. You’re looking for a nice char on the outside and an internal temperature of 160°F for safe eating.
  6. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, leaving you with tender, flavorful bites.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if you like, and watch as everyone digs in—just like family gathered around Mama Lu’s table.
