@lovelycookingco: All the delicious flavors of Persian koobideh without having to fire up the grill! 🤎 This sheet pan beef koobideh is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and roasted alongside sweet, caramelized tomatoes. Serve it with buttery saffron rice for the ultimate Persian comfort meal! 🥩 Ingredients for the Koobideh: * 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 works best) * 1 large yellow onion, finely grated * 1½ tsp salt * 1 tsp black pepper * 1 tsp turmeric * ½ tsp ground sumac (optional) * ¼ tsp saffron threads * 2 tbsp hot water * 1 tbsp olive oil 🍅 For the Roasted Tomatoes: * 4–5 Roma tomatoes, halved * 1 tbsp olive oil * Salt & pepper * Pinch of sumac 🍚 For Serving: * Fluffy basmati rice * Butter * Bloomed saffron * Fresh parsley * Extra sumac * Lavash bread (optional) 👩‍🍳 Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet. 2. Finely grate the onion, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel. This is important so the meat holds together! 3. Crush saffron threads and bloom in 2 tbsp hot water for 10 minutes. 4. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion, salt, pepper, turmeric, sumac, and bloomed saffron. 5. Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands for 4–5 minutes until sticky and well combined. 6. Press the beef mixture evenly onto the baking sheet into a rectangle about ½–¾ inch thick. 7. Using a knife or spatula, score the meat into long kebab strips. Press shallow ridges across each strip to create that traditional koobideh look. 8. Arrange halved tomatoes along one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and sumac. 9. Bake for 18–25 minutes, until the beef reaches 160°F internally and the tomatoes are soft and roasted. 10. For extra caramelization, broil for the final 2–3 minutes, watching closely so nothing burns. 11. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before separating the kebab strips. 🍚 To Serve: Serve the juicy koobideh over fluffy basmati rice with melted butter and a little saffron rice mixed in. Add roasted tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a generous sprinkle of sumac. ✨ The secret: Squeezing the moisture out of the grated onion and kneading the meat until sticky gives koobideh its signature texture. Using 80/20 ground beef keeps it juicy and flavorful! No skewers, no grill, and barely any cleanup. Just delicious homemade Persian food! 🤍 Save this recipe for your next easy dinner! #PersianFood #Koobideh #SheetPanDinner #PersianRecipes #EasyDinnerIdeas
