Beijing-style Mutton Skewers

Beijing-style mutton skewers are a popular street food in China, particularly in the city of Beijing. The skewers are typically made from chunks of marinated mutton (sometimes referred to as lamb) that are threaded onto bamboo sticks and grilled over an open flame. The skewers are often brushed with a fragrant spice blend made from cumin, chili powder, and other seasonings, giving them a spicy, savory flavor. They are typically served hot and fresh, often with a side of steamed rice or vegetable skewers. Beijing-style mutton skewers are known for their tender, juicy meat and bold, smoky flavor, making them a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
