Heat the oil or fat in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the meat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned meat and set aside.

Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

đĄ Proffstips
- âFor a richer flavor, use lamb fat for browning.
- âDon't rush the simmering process; low heat and long cooking time are essential for tender Kuyrdak.
- âIf you don't have a Dutch oven, a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid will work.
