Combine the chopped peppers and garlic, then add a tablespoon of red pepper flakes and a teaspoon of salt.

Add the ground beef to the mixture and chop everything together with a knife to combine.

Divide the mixture into portions and mold onto skewers, ensuring they are flat for better cooking.

Cook the skewers in the skillet, turning every minute for 5-6 minutes until cooked through.
