- Drain all excess liquid thoroughly.
- Squeeze the bulgur firmly between your hands to remove any remaining moisture.
- Add the minced beef, onions, tomato, mint, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Mix all ingredients together until you achieve a well-incorporated, uniform dough.
- If you prefer a smoother and more consistent texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor or meat grinder.

- Drizzle the olive oil over the surface of the kibbeh.
- Place in the oven and bake until cooked through.
