Never heard or seen a cut of meat called flat meat.
Pork neck…the ACTUAL ORIGINAL MEAT FOR SHASHLIK.
Love ATK, but join the food revolution. Sugar is toxic to the body. Vegetable oil causes serious inflammation. We know y’all can do better.
what she's saying is "flap meat". It's a cut off the bottom of the short loin similar to skirt steak. I looked it up. I also had never heard of it.
Is flat meat the same as flank steak. “Flat meat” is a cut I’ve never seen in Californian.

So you do realize this is Shish kebab – Shish meaning skewer , and kabab is grilling. This is something that you can say was made by many nomadic cultures and notably in Asia Minor attributed to Turkic warriors that cut up pieces of meat placed on their swards and grilled on an open fire. There are many marinades made these days by different cultures but the one that stand out from Turkey is a marinade with Turkish invention called yogurt which tenderizes the meat and coats it nicely without burning it like many sugary sauces.
Gulp! My salvia glands are working overtime! 👍👍
What's a good substitute for the cilantro which to me tastes like soap?
That looks, sounds delicious 🤤
Where is Julia???
Some background on this particular style of kebab would be nice. Otherwise the title might as well be shishkebab – shishkebab. Or shashlik – shashlik, for that matter, since as words, they’re essentially synonymous.
I've thoroughly been enjoying shashlik in the Ukraine for the last 4 weeks of my vacation. Absolutely delicious!😋
The chef emphasizes A LOT of onions… Only uses half a cup… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ATK, HI THIS CERTAINLY LOOKS GREAT,LOOKS LIKE I should try it, except it just me alone , bay Christene Is a dead ringer of a very dear friend on mine whom last lived in BASS RIVER/FALMOUTH, , but she passed on few years ago , kidney problem , anyhow cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hello from Texas. That looks great. Gonna have to try that recipe.
Can I ask…if you're going to put it in a bowl, why use a plastic bag? Just put the meat in the bowl to marinate, and place a plate on top to cover. ATK uses an alarming amount of disposable plastic. Love you guys, but set a better example.
3:57 what do you suppose they were hiding?

🔥🔥Hell is REAL🔥🔥
✝️☁️☁️JESUS SAVES ☁️☁️✝️
BELIEVE in the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4)
BELIEVE HE DIED AND WAS BURIED FOR YOUR AND MY SINS, BELIEVE HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMAN 10:9; IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, AND BELIEVE THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YE SHALL BE SAVED.
THERE IS ONLY ONE MEDIATOR (1 TIMOTHY 2:5) AND ONE NAME GIVEN TO US UNDER HEAVEN BY WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. (ACTS 4:12).❤👑
"My kind of smoothie" I'm with ya, Bridget!!
They look so pretty and delicious. Thank you for sharing this dish 😘😘
Why the heck do you have both shashlik recipes on the channel that are beef? Traditional shashlik is either lamb or pork.
Beef or chicken is not really suitable for this preparation.
That was 1/2 cup of onion??!!
It has been said "never trust a skinny cook" so I believe every word.
Where the neck tho
Shady thumbnail 😂
NYET!!
Rules of Shashlik:
1) Don’t burn Shashlik
2) Shashlik must be cooked over indirect heat outdoors preferably next to body of water
3) No woman shall cook Shashlik at any time
4) Did I mention Don’t Burn Shashlik
5) Three is company, unless Svedka is present
“Flat meat,” or any of the other names it goes by: flap steak, chuck tail, is not available at all grocery stores. It would be very helpful if America’s Test kitchen would give us alternative cuts to use.
I am so hungry watching this!
I'm so glad you posted this again! I really want to try these!
Use two skewers next time or use flat skewers! Your meat won't turn then.
WTF is flat meat? Never seen or heard of it.
i would eat every darn shashlik that appeared on my screen
Wow Americans are starting to call it shashlik. Glad to see it!
I'd prefer a greek slant to this, no cilantro/coriander, but more onion and tzatziki type sauce.
I wish a girl would look at me the way Bridget looks at food
When you say flat meat do you mean flat iron steak? Looks similar
I'm from NYC and is there another name for "Flat Meat" …..I heard of Flat Iron Steak…..it looks similar to this and so does Flank Steak….Another name?
Flat meat see it all the time.
Chrstie – do U have any recipes on how to substitute APflour for other flours please ?
❤Christie thanx 4 teachg ur recipes smooth & seemless with the purpose 4 each spice & all with happiness & ease
So actually the thumbnail of the kabobs looks like something out of an Egyptian tomb.
No really.
As an archeology buff I clicked on this thinking they’d uncovered a new mummy.
Hello from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Everything looked great except for the cilantro it ruins the dip! I'll try parsley instead.
My dad from middle Asia always taught me that the weight of onions to the meat in shashlik must be 1:2 so half an onion here is really not A LOT of onions as you say. And then pureeing the onions is also weird, you cant grill or char them to use later as the garnish or add into sauces
