Beef Kofta Kebobs Recipe

If you are looking to try a delicious Middle Eastern dish, give this recipe for beef kofta kebobs a try! In this dish ground beef is mixed together with spices and then placed onto skewers and grilled. The kebobs are served with a homemade tzatziki sauce. Some other ingredients you can serve these kebobs with are diced tomato, onion, and cucumber. I like to serve them on a bed of chopped romaine lettuce with grilled flatbreads on the side. The beef kofta gets a lot of flavor from cumin, coriander and garlic. The tzatziki sauce uses ingredients such as Greek yogurt, cucumber and fresh dill.
