Kuyrdak (Kazakh: қуырдақ, Kuyrdak, Kyrgyz: куурдак, Turkmen: gowurdak; Говурдак, Uyghur: قورداق қордақ qordaq, Uzbek: qovurdoq, Mongolian: Хуурдаг), transliterated with various spellings, is a traditional meat dish made in Central Asia. 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".
Kuyrdak is known in Turkish cuisine as kavurma usually made from lamb, mutton, beef or sheep liver or sometimes with vegetables.
