Külbastı Cut (Thin Pounded Steak)

Külbastı is a cut usually made by slicing lamb or beef leg into thin pieces and lightly pounding them with a mallet to thin them further. In Turkish cuisine, it is also the name of a grilled dish that cooks quickly. Its thinness allows it to cook in a short time over high heat.
