Veal fillet shashlik

30 minutes
Beef tenderloin shashlik is a dish infused with the aromas of fresh spices and a light tang of lemon. It is an exquisite version of traditional Russian shashlik, where the tenderness of veal combines with the rich notes of marinade. The origins of the dish date back to ancient times when meat grilled over coals became a symbol of home warmth and friendly gatherings. A mixture of parsley, sour cream, and vinegar gives the shashlik a special softness, while juicy rings of onion add a pleasant sharpness. This shashlik is perfect for warm summer evenings when the coals shimmer and the aroma of grilling meat envelops the space in coziness. Serve with greens and fresh vegetables while enjoying its unique flavor.
