In English, kebab with no qualification generally refers more specifically to shish kebab served on the skewer or döner kebab served wrapped in bread with a salad and a dressing.[2] In the Middle East, however, kebab includes grilled, roasted, and stewed dishes of large or small cuts of meat, or even ground meat; it may be served on plates, in sandwiches, or in bowls. The traditional meat for kebab is lamb, but depending on local tastes and taboos, it may now be beef, goat, chicken, pork; fish and seafood; or even vegetarian foods like falafel or tofu. Like other ethnic foods brought by travellers, the kebab has become part of everyday cuisine in many countries around the globe.

A delicious and less expensive alternative to filet is sirloin. In fact, most restaurant kabobs are made with a nicely marbled sirloin. Great vid here.

Hi, can these be made with lamb? If so which ingredients would you advise to use with the lamb meat...maybe you can make a video ;) I went to a resturant and they served me a dish called adana which included shish tawook, lamb skewer, and beef shish kobob with lebanese bread.. it was really nice.

no, not at all, salt is the most important seasoning that you could possibly use for any food. Don't be afraid of salt, it is a wonderful thing :)

Thank you for the video, my question is: doesn't salt soak up all the meat's moisture and make the kebab very dry?
