Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to preserve texture. Make-Ahead: Shape the beef patties and thread the skewers up to 24 hours ahead; keep refrigerated until ready to grill. Variations: Substitute ground lamb for a traditional Lebanese flavor, or use chicken breast chunks instead of beef. For a gluten-free option, ensure your seven spice blend is gluten-free.
