Enjoy a taste of Turkey in your home with this succulent, slow-cooked beef that melts in your mouth!

1

Start by marinating the beef. Combine yogurt, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and minced garlic in a bowl. Rub this mixture over the beef and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

2

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

3

In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.

4

Add the marinated beef to the pot, searing it on all sides for about 15 minutes. This step will enhance the flavor by creating a lovely brown crust on the beef.

5

After searing, add diced tomatoes and water to the pot. Toss in bay leaves, stirring to combine all ingredients.

6

Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Let it cook slowly for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Check occasionally and add more water if necessary to keep the beef moist.

7

Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven. Let the beef sit for about 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.

8

Serve your Kuzu tandır with rice or flatbread. You can garnish with fresh herbs like parsley if desired.
