These grilled Mediterranean Beef Kebabs are the perfect #low-carb/#Keto/#Whole30-friendly dish made with lightly spiced Steakhouse Elite Grass-Fed Ground Beef grilled on skewers. Now that Spring is on the way, I’m focusing on eating healthier and less carbs with whole, fresh, #organic ingredients.
Once the beef skewers are grilled, they are served with a simple, lovely salad made with fresh sun-roasted tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, parsley, mint, and crumbled feta, and a side of homemade tzatziki sauce made with garlic, cucumbers, mint and greek yogurt.
Healthy, light and delicious! You can also serve these on grilled pita bread if you wish. Pairs well with a crisp white wine or light red.

Ingredients
BEEF KEBABS:
1 medium onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 1/2 pounds Steakhouse Elite Grass-Fed Ground Beef
1/2 cup finely ground almond flour + 1 tablespoon water
Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
4 teaspoons Mediterranean or Greek seasoning
SIDE SALAD:
1 large tomato, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
Parsley, chopped
Mint, chopped
Feta Cheese, crumbled
TZATZIKI:
3 Persian, Kirby or ½ English cucumbers, cut into ¼-inch pieces
Kosher salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, lightly crushed
¼ cup chopped mint
Instructions
BEEF KEBABS:
Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, removing when ready to start making beef kebabs. Lightly oil a grill or grill pan and preheat to medium-high.
Finely mince the onion, garlic, and parsley and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the ground beef, almond flour/water mixture, salt and pepper and Mediterranean spices. Mix together with your hands until well combined. Alternatively, you can mince all the ingredients together in a food processor.
Take a handful portion of the meat mixture and mold it on a wooden skewer into a long log-shaped kebab about 1 inch wide. Repeat with the rest of the meat and skewers, laying them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Place the beef kebabs on the grill and cook for 4 minutes on one side, turn over and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Serve the kebabs with a side salad made of sliced tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, parsley, mint and feta cheese with a side of tzatziki for dipping.
TZATZIKI:
Toss cucumbers with a few generous pinches of salt in a small bowl; firmly squeeze several times with your hands to release excess water. Drain.
Mix cucumbers, yogurt, oil, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl; season with salt. Let sit at room temperature 15–20 minutes; discard garlic. Stir in mint just before serving.
Do Ahead: Tzatziki can be made 2-3 days ahead (without mint). Cover and chill in the refrigerator, and add fresh mint just before serving.
Notes
You can also substitute the ground beef with ground lamb or chicken, and serve with a side of grilled pita bread if desired.
Enjoy!
