Grilled Ground Beef Skewers
This recipe is very flexible in terms of the herbs you can use. We like basil, marjoram, parsley, and a bit of mint, but you can use your favorites!
PRO TIP: If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes before forming the beef around them and grilling.
Serves: 2-4 Preparation time approximately 25 min.
Ingredients
1 pound all-natural, local ground beef
1/2 cup mixed herbs
2 cloves garlic
a thumb of ginger
olive oil, salt, and pepper
Optional
Mix extra minced herbs with garlic, olive oil a splash of vinegar or lemon juice, salt & pepper for a quick chimichurri sauce. For a creamier sauce, add some sriracha or harissa paste to plain yogurt.
Instructions
- Mince your herbs, garlic, and ginger. You can puree it in a food processor by adding just enough oil to make it come together. You can also grate your garlic and ginger on a microplane to get it ultra-fine.
- Mix together the ground beef, herbs, garlic, and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
- Test a small piece for seasoning by cooking in a skillet.
- Form the meat mixture into a ball, then into a sausage shape, then insert the skewer into the middle
- Grill over medium-high heat, turning as needed, and cook until desired doneness. Serve warm.
