Savory Beef Kebab with Fresh Herbs

Prepare the Beef Mixture:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, garlic, turmeric powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until the beef is evenly seasoned.

Shape the Beef:

• Divide the seasoned ground beef into small portions and form each portion into small, compact sausage-like shapes around the skewer (similar to kofta-style kebabs). Ensure they’re firm and secure on the skewers.

Marinate the Beef:

• Place the skewers with the beef in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to infuse into the beef.

Preheat the Grill:

• Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Assemble the Kebabs:

• Alternate the beef portions with pieces of bell peppers, red onion, eggplant, and mushrooms on each skewer for a vibrant look.

Grill the Kebabs:

• Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly charred and tender.

Serve and Garnish:

• Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest briefly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired, and serve with tzatziki sauce or a simple grain salad.
