Ingredients
-
1 pound Organic Prairie® 90% Lean Ground Beef
-
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
-
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef, diced onion, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, and thyme. Mix together until combined and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Divide the meat into 8 portions. Using your hands form each portion into an oblong shape about 1-inch thick. Wrap the meat around a 6-inch skewer. Place on a plate and continue with the rest of the meat.
- In a large grill pan, or on the grill, heat to medium/high. Add the olive oil to coat the pan.
- Place the kabobs onto the grill pan and sear, cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, rotating every few minutes to ensure even cooking and grill marks on each side.
- Serve with hummus, chopped cucumbers, Cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives.
