1. Pounding kabab barg meat:

Season the meat in the restaurant style a day before or, if you don’t have much time, about 6 hours before.

In the preparation of lamb kabob barg, first, wash and dry the meat well to season it. Put the meat on the meat board and pound it with a steak hammer until it spreads and its diameter reaches about half a centimeter.

If the meat you use is very thick and does not reach your desired width with a steak hammer, the best thing is to first divide it into two equal parts with a sharp knife carefully and then pound each part with a steak hammer until it reaches the diameter and desired thickness.

The best kebab is that one which is well pounded and soft and juicy after cooking.

Remember that the width of the pounded kebab should be about four fingers or about 8 to 10 cm. The standard weight of a normal kabab barg is 120 grams, and a special one is 160 grams.

2. Season the meat:

At this stage of how to prepare kabab barg you should season the meat of this kebab like other types of kebab before skewering.

To marinate the meat in the second step, pour the meat in rosemary leaves, grated onion juice, red vinegar, melted butter, olive oil, bay leaves, cloves, nutmeg, saffron, and two grated garlic cloves.

Do not add salt to the meat at this stage because salt will cause the meat to lose water, and your kebab will be hard and dry.

So, the second reason for the hardening of kabob barg is salting the raw meat. The best time to salt the meat is in the middle of its cooking.

3. Skewer the meat:

Now, it’s time to skewer the meat. Place the meat on the work surface, and hold the meat in place with your hands.

Then, insert the skewer into the meat slowly from under your hand; the pieces of meat should stick together after skewering.

Place the skewer on the heat and turn it carefully until the meat is grilled (the best fire for grilling is a charcoal grill). To make a soft and juicy kabob barg, you have to be patient and take time.

If you feel that the meat is getting dry during grilling, especially if you are using veal for roasting, you can apply some butter on the meat with a brush. Sprinkle some salt on the grilled meat in the middle of cooking.

4.How to serve kabab barg:

In the last step of preparing restaurant kabob barg, you should serve the kebabs. It is better to serve kabob barg with rice.

To remove the kebab from the skewer, place the kebab directly on the Persian rice and carefully remove it from the skewer.

There is a misconception that fillets refer to a particular cut of meat. As with other kinds of meat, a veal fillet can actually be derived from any cut of the cow. The difference is that a fillet is already trimmed of extra fat and it is usually free of any bones. Veal fillets are particularly admired over thin cuts of meat because they are tender.

When consumers shop for this type of meat for home cooking, they might ask a butcher from where a particular fillet is derived, as it can either be the front, middle, or rump of the calf.
