Kuurdak is a traditional dish from Central Asia, particularly popular in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It features tender pieces of meat, typically beef, lamb, or horse meat, that are sautéed with onions, garlic, and a variety of aromatic spices, such as cumin, black pepper, and coriander. The meat is cooked until it becomes golden and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and flavorful on the inside. Often, potatoes and sometimes carrots are added to the dish, creating a hearty, satisfying meal. Kuurdak is traditionally served hot, often accompanied by bread or rice, and is beloved for its rich, savory flavors and comforting, rustic qualities.
