How to Make Beef Kefta Patties With Cucumber Salad

Preheat grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
Add patties to the preheated grill pan.
Cook for 3 minutes per side, or until the patties reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the patties cook, prepare the cucumber salad: In a medium bowl, combine 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced, and 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
To serve, arrange one patty and 1 1/2 cups of the cucumber salad on each of four plates.
Top each serving with approximately 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce.
Serve immediately with 2 pita wedges per serving.
