How to Make Spicy Beef Skewers
- Soak 8-10, 10-inch bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
- Finely grate 1 medium onion (about 1 cup grated) or finely chop it. Alternatively, use 2 tablespoons of dried minced onion.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, the grated onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon marjoram, and 1 teaspoon caraway seeds.
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well with a spatula until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (approximately 1/8 lb each).
- Carefully mold each portion around a soaked skewer, shaping it into an 8-inch long sausage.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) and season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly oil the preheated grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers directly onto the oiled grill grates.
- To prevent the skewer ends from burning, place a sheet of aluminum foil underneath the uncovered wooden skewers.
- Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the grill and loosely tent with foil to keep warm.
- Serve immediately with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
