My youngest daughter recently visited Tibet and Nepal. She came back with this recipe that I’ve modified a bit. Traditionally, Sukuti is prepared with a dried meat, almost like a jerky. This recipe could also be prepared with beef or buffalo although beef is never eaten in Nepal. This recipe requires advanced preparation to allow the meat to marinate.

Ingredients


3 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into thin three-inch long slices

1/2 cup chopped yellow onion

2 tablespoons dark molasses

2 tablespoons clover honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons minced ginger

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon chili paste

1 teaspoon ground Szechuan peppercorns

1 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon fennel seed

Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste



Instructions


Combine all of the ingredients, except the lamb, in a blender and process into a smooth paste.

Mix the lamb pieces with the spice mixture in a large bowl; cover and marinate for at least 2 hours.

Prepare a grill for indirect cooking and place the lamb pieces on the cooler side of the grill. Smoke for about 1 hour or until the slices are slightly crisp.
