5 servings
180 minutes
A hit of Soviet nomenklatura feasts. The key ingredient, that is, massive pieces of meat fillet are rubbed and wrapped in the fat net of the same animal. The original version calls for lamb, but today it is legal to cook Karski shashlik from both beef and pork, disguising the fake with large cuts.
