About the dish

Tzigoiner is a traditional meat dish originating from Valtellina. The dish consists of thinly sliced beef that's wrapped around a wooden skewer and grilled to perfection. The beef is typically marinated in wine, oil, and spices. The meat is usually seasoned with salt and pepper before it's placed over a hot grill. Tzigoiner is often accompanied by french fries and dollops of mustard and grated horseradish on the side. If properly prepared, the beef should be very succulent and it should slide right off the skewer. Additional ingredients such as pancetta can also be wrapped around the skewer.
