Chef tips
To achieve that signature caramelized and browned texture, slice the meat very thinly against the grain and sear it quickly over high heat so the sugar in the marinade caramelizes perfectly. For a delicious kosher version, use chicken thighs or thinly sliced beef sirloin; serve with plenty of fresh mint and cilantro to balance the bold flavors and add freshness to every bite.
