Chenjeh Kabab
Cubed Meat Kebab
This is a recipe for the grill.
Chenjeh Kabab refers to a kabab made from cubed lamb or beef. It is very similar in methods and ingredients to joojeh kebab, which is made with chicken, though in this version the yogurt is omitted. It made for a tasty and very tender kebab.
I used flat iron steak to make mine, as I had some in the freezer I had to use, and actually cubed the beef while frozen and just let it defrost in the sauce. You can use lamb leg or loin, or any steak cut. Chenjeh kabab is often serve with a yogurt sauce and along side tomato or vegetables kebabs.
