"This is pretty easy, and it taste pretty good also. I'm not a big fan of juniper berries, so I usually substitute cumin instead, but that is just me. Also I like to use bacon instead of suet, it taste dang good, and suet is hard to find. I would think Slat Back could be used also, but I have never tried it.
I have also substituted Worcestershire sauce for the water for a different flavor, adjust salt if you do.
This original recipe is from Romanian."
2 pounds ground beef
8 ounces chopped suet
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon finely ground juniper berries
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons beef broth
In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, suet, baking soda, caraway seeds, garlic, salt, pepper and juniper berries using your hands.
Mix with your hands for about 15 minutes, adding a little bit of the water at a time.
This part can be made a few hours ahead of time if you like.
Preheat a grill for high heat.
With wet hands form the meat into rolls about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Brush lightly with oil.
Grill the meat for 5 to 10 minutes, basting frequently with a mixture of beef broth and any remaining oil, until well done.
