Layered Flat Meat Skewers
Turkish-style beef skewers built from thin pounded sirloin strips threaded ribbon-fashion onto a skewer with onion and pepper, grilled over high heat, and seasoned with cumin, paprika and sumac. The meat chars at the edges while staying juicy inside, served with gluten-free flatbread and a lemon-parsley salad.
