Kuurdak (Kyrgyz: куурдак, Kazakh: куырдак, Turkmen: gowurdak, Uzbek: qovurdoq), transliterated with various spellings, is a traditional meat dish made in Central Asia, especially among the Kyrgyz. The name comes from a nominalisation of the word "roast", "fried", referring to how the food is made. It is described as "stewed brown meat".[1]
