Russian Shashlik

I was fortunate enough to spend two summers in Russia back in the early 2000s. During my stay there on the beaches near Vladivostok, we discovered some amazing Shashlik from the local outdoor food vendors. Shashlik is Russia’s version of shish kabobs, it can be made with lamb, beef or pork and is marinated in a mix of onion and garlic.We chose beef for this recipe but it will also work great for pork or lamb. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 trimmed tri tip cubed into 1″ pieces

Kosher salt

4 bay leaves

Marinade

1 large Sweet Onion

5 cloves of garlic
