Kebab Grilling

Description

Kebab grilling is a Middle Eastern street food technique that involves cooking thinly sliced meat over direct heat, resulting in a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.

Technical

Kebab grilling involves the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars, which occurs when the meat is exposed to high heat, resulting in the formation of new flavor compounds and browning of the meat. The high heat and fast cooking time help to caramelize the natural sugars in the meat and create a flavorful crust.
