Prepare 500 grams of ground beef, preferably with some fat.

Add 10 grams of salt and 2 grams of black pepper to the meat mixture.

Mix well to create a compact mixture.

Add 50 ml of carbonated water to enhance flavor and texture.

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 3 hours.

After refrigeration, add a pinch of baking soda and a few drops of lemon juice to the mixture.

Mix again, adding a couple of tablespoons of carbonated water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Form the mixture into approximately 20 balls, each weighing about 25-30 grams.

Use a piece of freezer bag to shape the ćevapi, pressing and rolling them to the desired length.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the ćevapi, turning them frequently for even cooking.

After about 4-5 minutes, remove the ćevapi from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
