In my house, these Greek Style Beef Skewers are a staple. Your summer dinner will be complete if you serve them with pita bread and salad.

I love making this ahead of time, and I think it tastes even better the next day after it’s been in the fridge.

Isn’t it true that food on a stick tastes better? It’s fantastic!

With summer just around the bend and grilling season upon us, I figured now would be a great time to share this delicious recipe.

If you don’t eat red meat, one option is to substitute turkey or chicken for the beef. I believe that if you have a decent seasoning, you have a lot of possibilities.

That being said, you should keep in mind that if you replace beef, you should cut back on the salt because we all know how much burger meat likes salt.

So, if you’re using ground turkey or chicken, use a little less salt.

It can be served with a side salad, on pita bread, or with rice or potatoes. I generally make a large salad and baked potatoes when we just grill. But from time to time I include some mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. 

On the other hand, there are occasions when all I need is a warm pita or naan with a sprinkling of onion. Nostalgia hits you like a ton of bricks!

I grew up on similar grilled beef sausages called “cepavi” so I enjoy foods like this very much!

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Resting Time 30 minutes

Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. Ground Beef
• 1/2 onion chopped or use 1/2 tbsp. onion powder
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup of freshly chopped parsley
• 1/4 cup of freshly chopped oregano
• 1 tbsp. salt, or to taste
• 1/4 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, squeezed

Instructions

1. Chop onion, and on a drizzle of oil, cook it for 3-4 minutes at medium-high temp. This will help them incorporate better into the meat. You can use onion powder if you prefer that better and skip this part.
2. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine.
3. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but you can keep it covered overnight.
4. If you're using bamboo skewers, soak them for a bit in the cold water. Using wet hands, shape the meat mixture into ovals, each approx. 1 inch thick; thread each “beef sausage” onto a soaked wooden skewer.
5. Add the beef Skewers and grill, turning every 3 minutes, until browned and cooked through about 8 -10 minutes, depending on how you like your meat, well done or medium-rare.
6. Make a salad with vinaigrette and serve it with Greek Style Skewers and Pita bread.

Chicken Burger with spicy peanut butter slaw was amazing. Not only are these simple to prepare but after grilling or cooking, you can keep the patties in the fridge for days.

So, they are perfect for meal prep if you are doing it. All you got to do is heat and eat.

Now, if you are doing low carb, there is a simple solution for that too. You can use almond flour instead of panko breadcrumbs and enjoy these protein-packed chicken patties even if you are doing low-carb diet.

I partnered with PB2 Foods to create recipes using their products.

This time I used their new PB2 Crunchy Powdered Peanut Butter, which is peanut butter reimagined!

Freshly roasted peanuts are pressed to remove most of the oil.

Mix in some roasted peanut pieces, a little sugar, and a dash of salt for flavor, and the result is peanut butter with only 2.5 g of fat per serving – almost 70% fewer calories than traditional peanut butter and 5 g of plant-based protein.

Anyhow, my family and I enjoyed these Asian-inspired burgers with spicy slaw.

If you like me and love Asian flavors, then these burgers are for you.

You could serve patties in the bun, on the salad, or use lettuce to wrap them up, which is perfect for the low-carb option.

Also, the addition of PB2 Crunchy Powdered Peanut Butter in both burger patties and slaw was perfect. It gives you something extra so you could enjoy every bite.

With that being said, I feel like using any other condiment was not necessary. I used mayo, and it was great. However, we have tried skipping slaw and using BBQ sauce and cheese. We had divided opinions on this one.

Three of us preferred using slaw in the burger. It was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, which was incredible.
