''Kabab koobideh'' ( ) is an Iranian variant of kofta kebab made from ground lamb, often mixed with salt, ground black pepper and grated onions.

In some regions, the dish is also known as "koufteh kabab," originating from the older Persian root ''kouftan'', meaning "to slam" or "to hit." Traditionally, the meat was placed on a flat stone or log and pounded with a wooden mallet to achieve the desired texture. The meat is then cooked on a ''seekh'' (سیخ), the Persian word for "skewer."
