Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. On a baking sheet, place the bacon slices side by side and then add the beef and roll it tightly in the bacon using the baking paper. The roll can also be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge. The salt will act as a glue for the meat and it will be much easier to cut/handle.

  4. Cut the roll into pieces about 2 cm (3/4 of an inch) thick and place them on skewers.
  5. Separately, prepare some skewers with chili peppers and onions.
  6. In a heated frying pan, put a little oil and fry all the skewers on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your preference –rare/medium/well done.
  7. The skewers/kebabs can also be cooked on the grill, but be careful not to burn them as the fat will drip from them.
  8. When ready, serve the kebabs with a light sauce of buttermilk and sumac well mixed together and tortillas or pita bread.
