This easy Middle Eastern–style recipe uses seasoned ground beef baked on a sheet pan, then served in warm flatbreads with fresh toppings.

Ingredients

For the Kebabs

  • 500 g (1.1 lb) ground beef
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Oil spray

For Serving

  • 4 flatbreads or wraps
  • Sliced red onion
  • ½ cup crumbled feta
  • Cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, red onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, oregano, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
  3. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil.
  4. Transfer the beef mixture to the pan. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the meat and press it down with a spatula or the bottom of another tray until the meat is about ½ inch thick.
  5. Remove the top parchment paper. Using a knife or bench scraper, score the meat into 8 strips, cutting about halfway through.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until browned and cooked through. For extra browning, broil/grill for the final 5 minutes, watching carefully.
  7. Remove from the oven and cut completely through the scored strips.
  8. Warm the flatbreads and fill each with 2 kebab strips.
  9. Add sliced red onion, chopped cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, and hot sauce.
  10. Fold or roll the flatbread and serve immediately.

Tip: The beef will shrink while cooking and some liquid may collect on the tray; that’s normal.
