Grate the onions, squeeze out their juice through cheesecloth, and reserve the pulp for the meat.
Knead the minced beef, minced lamb, onion pulp, salt, and black pepper for 10 minutes.
Take long portions of the mixture and press them onto wide metal skewers.
Rest the skewers in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so the meat grips the metal.
Prepare the rice pilaf with butter for serving and halve the tomatoes.
Cook the kebabs on a hot grill for 6-7 minutes per side, and char the tomatoes over the same heat.
Serve the kubideh kebab with rice, charred tomatoes, and sumac.
💡 Tip: Always squeeze the juice from the grated onions; excess moisture makes the meat slip off the skewers.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kubideh kebab at a kebab table with saffron rice, charred tomatoes, and optional sumac onions.
