O boy, I remember after eidul azha, my dad used to take a portion of qurbani beef to blue ribbon bakery in guru mandar area of Karachi. They used to turn it into one heck of hunters beef.
Anyone has prepared it at home? Could you guys share your tested recipe please?
Thats very simple - marinate beef in vingear, ginger garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, some aroma spices, soya sauce for two hour and then cook in the pot for 3-4 hours (slow cook)!
Hunter beef is shaped like a meat loaf right? But is totally different. Now I’m wondering if shami kabab texture is basically like meatloaf. In that case the latter is just a loaf of shaami?
TLK Bhaiyya is correct. Meat loaf is completely different, not only in taste and texture but preparation. Hunter Beef is nothing like meat loaf. The cut of meat used is not ground meat, it’s what in the west is used for pot roast/roast beef/chuck roast. Corned Beef would be the closest thing…or maybe pastrami.
as a kid, i used to go hunting neel gaaye with the village elders during annual local Anjuman-e-seHat o tafreeH [Health & Recreational Club] week programs which included baitbazi, sports, hunting trips, mushaira, qawwali and annual dinner. i remember they used to cook meat on open fire pits [kinda tandoor]. the tandoorii masaalajaat [spices] were supplied by local women folks. it was so much fun. we used to show our skills during the all night bonfire get together.
i used to imitate ‘pan chakki’ [water mill] and steam engine sounds by blowing air through the palms of my hands. i was so pretty good at that and everyone seemed to like it.
my sister brings ‘goat leg roast’ to us and her son in the US from an specialty restaurant in Bombay. it’s amazingly delicious.
Meat loaf’s texture is not smooth like shami kebab. It’s basically a larger hamburger patty if that makes sense. It’s made by forming keema (mixed with bread slices that have been soaked in milk, diced and sautéed onion ,bell peoper and spices) shaped into a loaf and then baked/glazed with ketchup on top. Shami kebab is made by grinding meat and dal that was cooked with spices. The two are nothing alike…not in texture, taste or cooking method.
