Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 2 whole onions
  • cilantro
Peel and quarter the onions and process them one onion at a time, stopping short of a puree.
Set the chopped onions in a strainer over a bowl to catch the liquid, then press the liquid out.
  • 4 whole serrano chilies
Pulse the serrano chilies until very finely chopped, then add the cilantro and chop fine.
Chilies and cilantro
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp finely ground garlic
  • 3–4 tbsp olive oil
Add the onions, cumin, coriander, salt, garlic and olive oil to the beef and mix thoroughly by hand.
Seasoning and mixing the kebab meat
Cover and refrigerate overnight or an hour or two, or form the kebabs straight away.
Take about three to four ounces of the mixture, roll it into a ball, then roll it into a kebab; do not make them too long or they crack.
Pan fry in a layer of olive oil in a cast iron skillet, three to four minutes a side until golden, about eight minutes total.
  • olive oil
Or brush with olive oil and air fry at 400 F, four to five minutes a side.
Rest on a serving platter over paper towel to absorb excess oil.
