To prepare the grilled meat the first thing you need is two pounds of beef, two
garlic, pepper, salt, cumin, tomato, onions and a little cinnamon.
for the white sauce we need two tablespoons of butter-two tablespoons of flour and

garlic with a little water.

ingredients, salt, pepper and a little cinnamon powder to taste, let the meat and the
seasoning rest for about fifteen minutes.

little more salt and that's it.

and melt the butter.
