Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Heat the oil in a wide pan or wok over high heat and brown the meat on all sides in two batches, 4-5 minutes each.
Return all the meat to the pan, pour in 100 ml water, and simmer covered for 15-20 minutes, until tender and the water has evaporated.
Add the butter and onion and fry for 3-4 minutes, then the pepper and garlic.
Add the tomato, thyme and pul biber, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, until the tomato breaks down but the pepper is still crisp.
Serve with pilaf and yoghurt.

Made on a sac (a convex iron griddle), it's called sac kavurma.
