Beef with Kashar cheese is a Turkish-style dish of cooked beef topped with melted Kashar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. The beef is usually pan-cooked first, then finished with cheese until it melts over the meat.
To make Beef with Kashar cheese, brown bite-sized beef pieces in a pan and cook them until tender. Season the meat, top it with grated Kashar, then cover the pan or briefly use an oven until the cheese melts.
Tender cuts such as sirloin work well for Beef with Kashar cheese because they cook quickly and remain easy to bite. Tougher cuts can also be used, but need slower, covered cooking before the cheese is added.
Yes, cheddar can replace Kashar in Beef with Kashar cheese, though the flavor will be sharper and less traditionally Turkish. Choose a cheese that melts well, and add it only after the beef is cooked.
Beef in Beef with Kashar cheese is often tough because the cut needs longer cooking, the pieces were cut with the grain, or the pan was overcrowded. Slice across the grain and cook tougher cuts gently until tender before topping them.
Beef with Kashar cheese can be cooked on the stovetop or finished in the oven. Pan-cook the beef first either way; a short oven finish melts and browns the cheese, while a covered pan melts it without transferring dishes.
Serve Beef with Kashar cheese with rice, potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a filling meal. A crisp salad or plain yogurt also works well, adding freshness alongside the rich melted cheese and beef.
Yes, ground beef can be used for Beef with Kashar cheese, but the result is closer to a cheesy minced-beef skillet than a dish made with whole beef pieces. Brown the meat thoroughly, drain excess fat if needed, then melt the cheese on top.
To keep the cheese on Beef with Kashar cheese from turning rubbery, add it near the end and heat only until melted. Prolonged high heat can make the cheese firm and oily, so avoid leaving the finished dish under the broiler.
Store leftover Beef with Kashar cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Reheat it gently in a covered pan or in short microwave bursts; strong heat can dry out the beef and toughen the cheese.
