Start by finely chopping the onion, garlic, and parsley.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, black pepper, salt, cumin, and paprika.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly by hand, ensuring everything is evenly combined. This should take about 5 minutes.
Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
Shape the marinated meat mixture into kebabs, approximately 5 cm in width.
Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the kebabs on the grill or in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
To make a simple garnish, mix chopped parsley with a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and serve alongside the kebabs.
Serve the Kıyma Kebap hot on a plate with bread on the side for a traditional touch.
