I heard of these recently and found a great recipe, but didn't even realize until I was going to make my marinade today that it was a Chef John recipe! Just had to say that because after all I am the Clark Kent of leaving a positive com-ment. 😄

OMG, now I believe you are an upstate Italian native. Believe it or not, I had Speidies at the San Genero festa in Las Vegas in 2018! My Papa made his own wine & apple cider, so our Speidies were made with red wine & dressed with “red gravy.” You just can’t beat venison Speidies too.
@miskatonic7637 жыл бұрын
As a Binghamtonian, I must clarify some points. Spiedis are the invention of Italian-Americans of the triple cities, (Endicott, Johnson City, and Binghamton). They are related to an Italian dish called a Spiedini. Endicott Johnson was a shoe company that lured European immigrants mainly Italian, Irish, and eastern Europeans. Also Chef John is right. They were original mainly lamb or pork, but people started to want healthier versions in the seventies. Lamb or pork is best though. 24 hour marinade is a minimum! Otherwise it's just grilled meat. Traditionally Spiedies are served on a slice of Roma's Italian bread. Wine pairings are Genesee Pale Ale or Utica Club. Local cheap beer. PBR will do in a pinch.

Tip for every one using skewers on a grill/bbq; Use 2 skewers for each "kebab"...It is so much easier to turn your meat on the grill cause the meat will not turn around on the skewer.....:-) I know ; insanely simple idea but it works...;-)

The reason it's sometimes called Zuzu sauce is that one of the restaurateurs who made these famous in the Binghamton - Endicott area was/is known as Zuzu!! I was introduced to Spiedies by my husband at his mother's house not so far from Binghamton. We developed our own recipe because we live in Phoenix, but wonder of wonders, there must be others in our area who missed these because our local supermarket now carries bottled Spiedie sauce (but I usually still make it myself 'cause it only takes a minute to throw together the marinade the way I like it and mine, like yours is, I daresay better than the bottled).

I totally agree that they should have become world famous by now, but that's OK... they can be us upstater's little secret. They're right up there with Argentine choripan :) I'll be adding this to the grill next time we have an asado down here in Buenos Aires (that is, unless the asador skewers ME for trying to add a US dish to an Argentine grill!)

As Chef John would say "If you're having grill problems I feel bad for you son.' However, I think if you patted it dry with paper towels and bushed a little oil on it you could make this in a grill pan. For that matter on a rack under an oven broiler would probably also work well.
