Start the rice. Heat the oven broiler (or a grill pan over medium-high heat).
Grate the onion and mix with the beef, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/3 cup chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. Shape into 12 small logs.
Broil on a foil-lined sheet pan 8-10 minutes, turning once, until browned and cooked to 160°F.
For tzatziki, grate half the cucumber, squeeze out the liquid, and stir into the yogurt with the remaining garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Serve kofta over rice with tzatziki and the rest of the cucumber, sliced.
