INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lbs filet mignon
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 tsp ground saffron, dissolved in 1 TBS of hot water
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 TBS cup olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 TBS butter
  • 1 TBS lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp ground saffron, dissolved in 1 TBS of hot water
  • lavash bread

 

  1. Cut into thin layers:
    • 2 lbs filet mignon
  2. Cut layered meat into 2-inch pieces.
  3. Place meat in a large shallow container and mix in:
    • 1 onion, sliced
    • 1/4 tsp ground saffron, dissolved in 1 TBS of hot water
    • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
    • 2 TBS cup olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp black pepper
  4. Coat all pieces of meat completely with marinade.
  5. Cover and marinate at least overnight and up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
  6. Start your charcoal at least 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  7. Slide filet pieces close together onto metal skewers, leaving room on each end of the skewer to handle without burning yourself. This also insures the meat is resting on the hottest part of your grill.
  8. In a small saucepan cook over medium heat until melted and combined:
    • 2 TBS butter
    • 1/8 tsp ground saffron, dissolved in 1 TBS of hot water
  9. Grill kabobs for 3-4 minutes each side, for medium-rare, turning occasionally and basting with butter-lemon mix.
  10. Remove from heat and remove meat from skewers by grabbing it and sliding it down the skewer with:
    • lavash bread
  11. Cover with more bread to keep warm until all the meat is cooked.
  12. Serve hot.
