Instead of dry pepper, you can put fresh, crushed into puree. It will be even tastier!
- 2.5 kg of pork (preferably neck);
- 1.2 kg of onions;
- 1.5 tsp. mixtures of black and red hot peppers, freshly ground;
- 2.5 tsp. salt.
Cut the pork into medium pieces. Sprinkle it with salt and mix well until it is completely dissolved.
You will feel the salt crystals disappear under your fingers. This means that all of it has already been absorbed.
Pour in the pepper mixture, distribute everything well and knead so that every piece is peppered.
Cut the onion into rings and add to the pork. We knead it thoroughly so that it releases the juice. Mix the meat with the onion, let it give it all its flavor.
Everything was mixed well, the spices were dispersed, the onion was squeezed out in the most excellent way. The smell is incredible!
Leave the marinated kebab for 1 hour at room temperature. Let’s go light up the grill ourselves.
As soon as the wood has burned out, you can place the prepared skewers on the grill and start frying.
Everything immediately starts to crackle and smell incredibly delicious!
Turn the skewers several times. We try to ensure that the pieces brown evenly.
How long does it take to fry shish kebab? All it takes is 10-12 minutes and the juicy, aromatic Caucasian pork kebab is ready! Serve it with lots of greens.
Sequencing
First of all, you need to deal with the meat. It is washed under running cool water, dried with paper towels, cut into medium pieces and placed in a suitable saucepan. Barbecue seasoning and lemon juice are added to the same bowl. Mix everything thoroughly and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Thirty minutes later, the onion, ground in a meat grinder, is added to the container with the meat. Mix everything thoroughly and return it to the refrigerator. While the veal is marinating, you should start preparing the fire and grill. After the burnt wood turns into coals, you can start frying the meat. To do this, it is lightly salted, threaded onto skewers and sent to the grill. During frying, the future veal kebab is periodically poured with white semi-dry wine and often turned over. Thanks to this, the meat will have time to cook evenly and be imbued with a pleasant grape aroma.

The coals are ready and we place the skewers on the grill. Fry on soft coals. We don't need intense heat.

Don’t forget to turn the skewers after some time so that everything is baked evenly.
The kebab fries very quickly, in 10-12 minutes it is ready.
We check the thickest piece, cut it and make sure there is no blood. During this time it bakes perfectly.

Thinly slice the beef for the bulgaga.
2. Pour the marinade sauce into a bowl and mix well with the meat
Add sesame oil and gently mix it into the meat. (I prefer to add the sesame oil separately rather than mixing it into the marinade sauce
I read somewhere that oil can prevent other sauce from getting into the meat.) Cover the bowl with the meat with plastic wrap and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight for better flavor.

How to cook beef tender.
To make the beef soft, for example in goulash, we need time. We defrost the beef “on our own”, no defrosting in the microwave. Cut the meat into pieces and rinse. Place the meat in a frying pan or saucepan and pour in enough water to cover the meat. DO NOT SALTY! (unless otherwise indicated in the recipe, for example, you can add salt with sea buckthorn juice when marinating) Simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Next, prepare according to the recipe.
You can salt the meat after 1 hour of marinating. So that it absorbs salt. Meat prepared in this way will definitely be soft.

Very juicy pork kebab on mineral water
Tenderloin is also suitable for this recipe. The marinade is prepared in highly carbonated mineral water, so it will make the tenderloin soft and tender.
Which mineral water should I take? I take the one that has a slightly salty taste, but you can take absolutely any that is sold in the supermarket.
- 3 kg pork neck or tenderloin;
- 300 ml highly carbonated mineral water;
- 700 gr. onions;
- 3 tsp. salt;
- 1 tsp each ground coriander, sweet red paprika, savory, dried basil;
- ½ tsp. ground red pepper;
- 50 ml grows. oils
Cut the tenderloin or neck into long strips. Each strip is cut into oblong pieces 4x5 cm, maybe even larger. Large pieces always turn out juicier than finely chopped pieces.
Salt the pork pieces and mix well.
Add spices.
Now mix it all well to evenly distribute all the spices.
Stir until you can no longer feel the salt. Let the meat rest a little and absorb the aroma of spices.
Cut the onion into half rings.
Place a layer of onion, a layer of meat, and so on until the end.
To ensure that the kebab is exceptionally juicy and the spices are revealed, add highly carbonated mineral water.
It softens the fibers very well and makes them looser. Thanks to this, onion juice and spice aromas are better absorbed.
The marinade should be completely absorbed into the meat and there should be no liquid at the bottom of the container.
Cover the container with a lid and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
The next day, take out the marinated meat and pour vegetable oil into it. It will “seal” the pieces and all the moisture and all the juice will remain inside.
Mix everything well. The oil will create a film on the surface and prevent the juices from frying from the meat. The oil itself will be fried, and the kebab will become even more juicy, all the taste and aroma of the spices and marinade will remain in it.
We make a fire, pour out the coals and wait for them to flare up. Place the skewers on the grill.
Fry for literally 10 minutes. During this time, we turn them from side to side several times. As soon as a golden brown crust appears, immediately remove from the coals so as not to dry it out.
Place the juicy, fatty pieces on the pita bread.
And now I will reveal the secret of a very juicy kebab, which is used by all kebab shops! Before you marinate the pork, you need to freeze it the day before. Then, when we defrost it, the dehydrated meat will very easily absorb a large amount of marinade.
Try to use this technique and you will always get very juicy and flavorful kebab without much difficulty!

Main nuances
The best kebab comes from fresh, chilled meat. Steamed veal contains quite a lot of blood, so it is completely unsuitable for these purposes. Meat that has already been in the freezer once is also not suitable for frying over a fire. In this case, it loses most of the nutrients, and the dish made from it is not juicy enough.
To ensure that the meat is evenly fried, it is cut into approximately equal five-centimeter pieces.
It is equally important not to over-salt the veal. Otherwise, she will give up all her juices and be dry.
As for the marinade, today there are many different options for its preparation. However, there is one important point here too. It is not recommended to use vinegar for these purposes. It is advisable to replace it with kefir or any other suitable product. To make it easier for the skewer to pierce the meat, the latter is threaded not across, but along the fibers. It is important to ensure that there is a little free space between the pieces, which can be filled with onion rings.
In order to prepare a juicy and tender kebab, which will be discussed in today’s publication, you need to pay special attention to the choice of firewood. For example, conifers emit resin, which impairs the taste of the dish.
Therefore, they should not be used to make a fire on which meat will be fried. It is best to stock up on birch, linden, apricot, plum or cherry branches for these purposes.
During the frying process, it is important not to leave the meat unattended for a minute. Otherwise it may burn. If a flame suddenly breaks out in the fire while cooking, it must be extinguished immediately. You also need to periodically turn the skewers so that the pieces of meat strung on them are evenly cooked.
Remove the veal shish kebab from the coals only after a beautiful golden crust appears on it. To check the readiness of the meat, a small cut is made on it. If clear juice comes out of it, then it’s time to serve the kebab. Lavash is usually used as a side dish, as well as any boiled, baked or fresh vegetables. If desired, the barbecue can be served with various hot sauces that perfectly highlight the delicate taste of the meat.

In the video itself you can clearly see that we added some water to the jar. You don’t have to do this - after all, the jars are placed in a cold oven, so they won’t burst, because... will heat up along with it. However, there is a high probability that you will get “crackers” instead of juicy meat, which, naturally, is not included in our plans... So I recommend adding some water.
And then you can “dry” and brown the meat by draining the water, and then it will not dry out, but will be soft, juicy and tasty.
