Some people like to eat meat, some people like to eat vegetables. Both parties determine some places according to their own tastes and taste their favorite dishes in some parts of the world. However, the subject of this article is for people who love meat more than vegetables. What meat is, where and how much it is cooked is very important for these people. In addition, they do not eat meat everywhere, they have certain places that they like. This is exactly why we will give examples of meat dishes from some countries to guide them a little. So are you ready to meet the 5 most famous meat dishes that have left their mark on the world's flavor atlas? Let's start.

Anticucho – Peru, South America

The origin of Anticucho, which is very popular in all of South and Central America, especially in Peru, is quite old. Although the original recipe in the 16th century showed that llama meat was marinated and then cooked directly over the fire, this recipe changed over time and llama meat was replaced by beef.

Made by skewering or grilling the heart of veal in small pieces, the dish is marinated with red wine vinegar, garlic, and spices before cooking, so it has a slightly fruity flavor and can be found in street carts called “Anticucheras” almost everywhere in Peru. Anticucho, which is one of Peru's most popular street foods, is generally accompanied by corn and potatoes. If meat lovers have different quests, Anticucho will more than meet their expectations.

Steak au poivre – France

Steak au poivre, which is said to have emerged in Normandy in the 19th century and forms the basis of typical French cuisine, is basically obtained by frying veal steaks, coated with ground black pepper. The dish, which is served with the sauce cooked in the same pan as the steak, is usually consumed with a salad. Steak au poivre, which is on the menu of many famous restaurants today, is also known as a strong aphrodisiac because of the pepper it covers. In the authentic version of the recipe, a French cognac or brandy is necessarily used.

Wine Kebab- Bulgaria

Wine Kebab, in which meat is blended with wine, vegetables and spices, is one of the most popular traditional dishes in Bulgaria. The stew, in which the beef is cooked together with various vegetables such as carrots and celery after frying, and finally covered with a very dark sauce with red wine, is flavored with bay leaves and allspice, especially in winter. In traditional Bulgarian restaurants, it is garnished with parsley and served with rice pilaf.

Kleftiko – Greece

Kleftiko, which is said to be named after Klephts, the mountain rebels who stole food and cooked it underground during the Greek revolution, is a typical Greek dish cooked by baking lamb or goat meat wrapped in aluminum foil. While there are juicy versions that are cooked slowly in a pot with potatoes, the most popular way of cooking is foil, because, given the origin of the name, the heat and odor should not escape while cooking. Kleftiko, which is still indispensable for festivals and especially outdoor events, is served with red pepper and tomato.

Pabellon criollo – Venezuela

Pabellon criollo, which consists of slices of steak cooked with black beans, white rice and tomatoes, is a traditional Venezuelan dish and is known as the “cowboys favorite dish”. If you pay attention to the colors on the plate, you will notice that the ingredients that make up the dish are in the color of the national flag. The strongest theory about this rich dish, for which there is no clear information about its origin, is that it appeared during the colonial period in the 16th century. Pabellon criollo, which is usually served with white cheese, is also served with a fried egg (Pabellon a caballo).
