Tips
Mix the meat ingredients very well until sticky and uniform.
Roll the meat into a tight log, folding and pressing to remove all air pockets for even cooking.
Chilling the meat for an hour is recommended, but not necessary if short on time.
For crispier meat, increase oven heat to 425°F and bake for 5 minutes after initial baking.
Rest the cooked meat for 10 minutes before slicing very thin.
Blend sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Roast vegetables until charred and soft.
