Hi everyone!
Today I'm going to teach you how to make
The lamb skewer
I use the outdoor grill
Try my best to stimulate the taste of the street stands
If you don't have an outdoor grill, the oven will work too
First, you have to get a great piece of lamb
Best would be the fat and lean meat in between
There should be some fat in the lamb skewer
So it won't be dry and tough
And taste tenderer
Normally you can choose the lamb shoulder or shank
The lamb shoulder is a bit rough but it has more fat
As for the lamb shank, it's tenderer
But it's also leaner
So which one to choose
Is according to your own preference
Cut the meat into 2cm pieces
Try to cut more evenly
After cutting the meat, let's cut the onion
Just cut the onion roughly into several pieces
Because we are not going to eat it
Just to use it to pickle the meat
Put the cut meat and onion into a big bowl
And add in some cooking wine, soy sauce
And proper amount of cumin powder
Chili powder
And very few amount of salt
Some sugar
Don't add too much salt here
Because too much salt will make the meat become hard
I will add some more salt later when grilling it
Mix the meat and all the seasonings together evenly
Break the onions into small pieces
And mix it together with meat like this
To make it absorb the taste evenly
Pickle it for a while
Pickle it for about 40 minutes to an hour will be enough
The pickled meat can be made for the lamb skewer now
We don't need the onions
You can throw it away or make it for other uses
Leave some spaces between meat when skewering
In order to get it heated evenly
Skewer all the meat and place all of them on a plate
And brush a layer of vegetable oil evenly
At the same time, you can start to preheat your
Outdoor grill or oven
No matter how you cook
You have to set the heat to a higher level
Because we need the lamb skewer to be cooked fastly
So the meat will be tenderer
And the gravy can be kept
Don't flip the lamb skewer after putting it on the grill
Now, you can sprinkle some additional
Cumin powder, chili powder, and salt
Season it according to your own preference
If you also use the iron grill like me
Then you will notice that the meat is stuck
Right after you put it on the grill
Don't worry
It's just because it's not cooked yet
If one side is almost done
You can flip it over easily
So just wait a second
Wait until you can easily flip it over, then flip it over
After you flip it over, Sprinkle some
Cumin powder, chili powder, and salt as well
And the taboo of grilling the lamb skewer
Is that the gravy dries out
So pay attention when you are grilling it
If the meat it not producing the oil
It means the meat is too lean
You can brush some additional oil on it
If you are grilling on an outdoor grill
Grill it with high temperature
Grill it for about 18-20 minutes in total
Flip it over for 2-3 times then it's almost done
If you are using the oven, choose the grilling mode
Set the temperature to around 220-240°C
Grill it for 15-18 minutes
The exact time will change according to your own oven
The time I said is just for reference
Enjoy the lamb skewer while it's still hot
Don't let the lamb oil get solid
It won't taste that good in that case
I hope you like this very classic stand food
Lamb skewer
Thank you for watching
