Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice the lamb or beef into thin strips and season with Turkish seasoning. Heat the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat and cook the meat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
2
In the same pan, add the tomato puree and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Toast the bread slices until crispy and golden brown. Slice the bread into thin strips and place on a serving platter or individual plates.
4
To assemble the dish, place a few slices of toasted bread on each plate, then top with a few slices of the cooked meat. Spoon the tomato sauce over the meat and bread, followed by a dollop of yogurt. Garnish with parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
