Step by step cooking Turkish meat, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the meat and dry it dry. Cut off all the films with veins and cut the middle pieces into pieces.
2. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil and place the meat to be fried. Try to keep it in a single layer and there is a distance between the pieces. Otherwise, if it is piled up in a mountain, it will begin to stew in its own juice. And you need it to be fried.
3. Peel the carrots, wash and cut into small pieces. Peel the onions, wash and chop into half rings. Peel the garlic and cut into strips.
4. In another skillet, sauté the vegetables over medium heat, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
5. Send the fried vegetables to the pan with the meat.
6. Add tomato paste, salt and pepper. Add all the herbs and spices. In the summertime, twisted tomatoes or tomato juice can be added instead of tomato paste.
7. Pour in some water and stir. Boil, screw the temperature to the minimum setting, close it with a lid and simmer over low heat for half an hour. But the longer you stew the meat, the more tender and tasty the dish will turn out. Serve the dish to the table hot with any side dish and fresh vegetable salad.
