Juicy Beef Kafta

Preparation

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with the finely grated onion, chopped fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and ground allspice. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until well combined and uniform.
2
Shape the beef mixture into 6-8 elongated, torpedo-shaped patties or small logs, about 1-inch thick. Ensure they are compact to hold their shape during cooking.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the kafta patties in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through to your desired doneness.
4
Alternatively, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the kafta on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are cooked through and nicely browned.
5
Serve the hot kafta immediately, perhaps with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete, muscle-building meal.
