Tas kebab, which takes its name from the way it is cooked, is one of the main dishes of Ottoman cuisine. Today, it is one of the most preferred in artisan restaurants. Since it is cooked with the help of a copper bowl, vegetables and meats are cooked in their own juice. Thus, it turns into a very tasty dish. Bon Appetit!
Take butter and oil in a deep pan and when it gets hot, add the onions and garlic.
Add coarsely diced (2cmx2cm) beef to the pinking onions and garlic and fry it on medium heat until the meat absorbs its juices.
Add a spoonful of flour and continue frying.
Add the tomato paste to the roasted meat and fry until it smells raw.
On the other hand, peel the potatoes and carrots, cut into 2cmx2cm cubes, add to the meat and fry for another five minutes. At this stage, you can add 1/2 cup of canned peas if you wish.
Add salt and pepper to your food and add three glasses of hot water. Put the meat in the middle of the pot and cover it with a deep metal bowl. Cover the pot and cook the meat on low heat for 40- 45 minutes. Check the water from time to time and serve hot. Bon Appetit!
Note: You can deep fry the potatoes of the kebab and add it to the dish at the presentation stage.

Veal Cubes:
Diced beef is a rich source of high-quality protein, especially iron (critical for blood formation), zinc (immune support), and B vitamins (metabolic functions). It contributes to muscle development and energy production. It typically pairs excellently with vegetables like onions, peppers, tomatoes, and spices such as thyme and cumin.
Potatoes:
Potatoes are a rich source of complex carbohydrates providing energy, Vitamin C, and potassium. Their fiber content contributes to digestive health and provides a feeling of satiety. Potassium, vital for regulating blood pressure, makes them important for overall body functions. They pair well with meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, and many vegetables, suitable for various cooking methods like baking, boiling, frying, and mashing.
Carrot:
Carrots are renowned for their rich beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A, crucial for eye health (especially night vision) and skin regeneration. Their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety. Potent antioxidants also protect cells. To maximize the absorption of their beneficial compounds, carrots are best consumed with healthy fats like olive oil. Versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, they pair wonderfully with fruits like apple, orange, and ginger, or in meat dishes.
Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
Tomato Paste:
Tomato Paste is a concentrated source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant whose bioavailability increases when heated. This property supports heart health and may help reduce the risk of certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer. It also contains Vitamin K and potassium. Its absorption is enhanced when consumed with olive oil. It pairs perfectly with onions, garlic, red meat, and legumes, adding depth and umami to dishes.
Butter:
Butter is a rich, flavorful fat derived from milk. It contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K2, along with healthy fatty acids, serving as an energy source. It's easily digestible. Butter enhances the taste of meals and rice dishes, is spread on bread, or used in sauces. It's indispensable for breakfast tables and various recipes.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
Garlic:
Garlic, thanks to its allicin compound, offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can boost the immune system, increasing resistance against illnesses. Furthermore, it contributes to cardiovascular health by helping regulate blood pressure and balance cholesterol levels. Widely used in traditional medicine, garlic is also known for its digestive support effects. An indispensable ingredient in meat dishes, vegetable sautés, and Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with herbs like rosemary and thyme.
Grain Black Pepper:
Whole black peppercorns, thanks to their main component piperine, enhance the bioavailability of nutrients (e.g., curcumin) and aid digestion, acting as a potent antioxidant. They are also known for their anti-inflammatory effects and may help boost metabolism. They achieve unique flavor harmony with various dishes, including red meat, poultry, fish, vegetable meals, soups, salads, and even some fruit platters. A versatile spice in the kitchen.
