  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  5. 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.

  6. ⏳⚠️⚠️10/10 DIE⚠️⚠️⏳
    🔥🔥Hell is REAL🔥🔥

    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).❤👑

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. “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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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
