Gather and portion ingredients.
3
Peel and grate one of the onions. This is easier if you leave the root end in-tact. Dice the other onion for use in the sauce.

Grate or finely chop the garlic cloves.
5
Add the grated onion and garlic to the ground beef in a large mixing bowl.
6
Add all the seasonings and mix to combine.
7
Roll the beef into short logs.
8
Add some oil to coat the bottom of a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the diced onion and saute until translucent and lightly browned.
9
Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan with the onions along with the seasonings.
10
Stir to combine, add a lid and simmer for about 10-15 minutes while you cook the kefta.
11
Grill or pan fry kefta for a few minutes on each side or until browned. You can finish cooking all the way through in the sauce.
12
Add the kefta to the tomato sauce and simmer for a few minutes or until beef is cooked.
