This dish is totally inspired by the Mongolian Khorkhog (Xopxoг), the original Mongolian barbecue, which is a staple of the country's nomads. It is a variation of the traditional Boodog dish made with hot stones in which the meat is cooked inside an animal's skin. This dish is usually made with lamb or mutton meat, but this time we used beef and it was equally as delicious!
We used a CanCooker Convection Steam Cooker, which worked perfectly.
You'll also need about 10 to 20 fist-sized hard stones, river stones work best, just make sure to clean them thoroughly. I Nature can't provide them to you where you live, then you can probably buy them at your local hardware store, in the landscaping department.
