Nyama Choma (Simple Kenyan Grilled Meat) with Kachumbari Salad – Gluten-free, Primal, Paleo, Keto

“Today, I’m sharing a simple grilled meat recipe, something that really hits the spot on a summer evening. Its preparation is deceptively simple: just rub it all over with lemon juice, give it a fair bit of salt, and grill it until cooked through. Nyama Choma’s charm comes from its down-to-basics approach, letting you compliment the pure meat flavor with a spicy and tangy Kachumbari Salad (also pictured: Sukuma Wiki.” -Russ Crandall

Recipe & Photos By Russ Crandall | The Domestic Man

6 servings | Time: 1 hour | Easy

USWM Shopping List: 3-4 lbs bone-in lamb or beef pieces (leg, shoulder, short ribs, or combination)

 

Meat Ingredients

• 3-4 lbs bone-in goat, lamb, or beef pieces (leg, shoulder, short ribs, or combination), cut into 2” chunks
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• coarse sea salt or kosher salt to taste

Meat Instructions

1. Rub the meat all over with the lemon juice, then pat dry using paper towels; generously salt the meat and set aside.
2. Prepare your grill for indirect medium-heat grilling by banking the coals to one side for a charcoal grill or turning off the burners on one side. Place the lamb or beef pieces on the cool side of the grill, fattiest-side-up, and grill until the meat registers at least 140°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 35 minutes.
3. Transfer the meat to the hot side of the grill and grill until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Season with more salt to taste, then serve with Sukuma Wiki, Ugali, and Kachumbari.
