Frequently Asked Questions About Koobideh kebab
What is Koobideh kebab?
Koobideh kebab is an Iranian grilled kebab made from seasoned ground meat shaped around long, flat skewers. It is commonly made with beef, lamb, or a mixture, and is often served with rice and grilled tomatoes.
What meat is used in Koobideh kebab?
Koobideh kebab is usually made with ground beef, lamb, or a blend of the two. The meat is mixed with finely grated onion and seasoning; the balance of fat helps keep the kebab tender as it grills.
What is the difference between Koobideh kebab and seekh kebab?
Koobideh kebab is a Persian style of minced-meat kebab, typically seasoned simply and shaped onto broad, flat skewers. Seekh kebab is a broader South Asian category and often uses a different mix of spices, herbs, and regional ingredients.
Why does Koobideh kebab fall off the skewer?
Koobideh kebab can fall off if the onion mixture is too wet, the meat is not thoroughly mixed, or it is loosely shaped around the skewer. Squeeze excess liquid from grated onion, chill the mixture, and press it firmly into an even layer.
How is Koobideh kebab traditionally served?
Koobideh kebab is commonly served with Persian rice, often flavored with saffron, plus grilled tomatoes and fresh herbs. Flatbread, salad, or sumac onions also make suitable accompaniments, depending on the meal and setting.
Is Koobideh kebab spicy?
Koobideh kebab is usually mildly seasoned rather than hot. Its flavor typically comes from meat, onion, salt, and pepper; chili may be offered separately, so the heat level can vary by restaurant or recipe.
How do you make Koobideh kebab at home without a charcoal grill?
You can cook Koobideh kebab under a hot oven broiler or on a preheated grill pan if you do not have a charcoal grill. Shape the chilled meat mixture firmly around skewers, turn it as it cooks, and make sure the center is fully cooked.
Can Koobideh kebab be made with chicken?
Yes, Koobideh kebab can be made with ground chicken, although it will have a different flavor and may be less juicy than versions made with beef or lamb. Shape it firmly and cook it thoroughly, since poultry must be fully cooked before serving.
How long do Koobideh kebab leftovers keep?
Cooked Koobideh kebab leftovers keep in the refrigerator for a few days when placed in a covered container promptly. Reheat them until hot throughout, preferably covered or with a little moisture to help prevent the meat from drying out.
Can Koobideh kebab be cooked ahead for a party?
Yes, you can shape the Koobideh kebab mixture ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to grill. Cook the kebabs close to serving time for the best texture, and keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods.

What is Koobideh kebab?
Koobideh kebab is an Iranian grilled kebab made from finely minced meat, commonly mixed with grated onion and seasoning, then shaped around long, flat skewers. Grilling gives it a browned exterior and a juicy, tender centre, with a savoury flavour that is often gently spiced rather than fiery.
In Iran it is commonly served with rice, grilled tomatoes and herbs; elsewhere, it also works well with flatbread and a fresh salad. It is protein-rich, though the meat can make it fairly substantial. For a lighter plate, pair it with vegetables and keep the rice or bread portion modest.
