To make Diced Beef and Onion Sauté, brown the beef in a hot pan, then add sliced onions and cook until the meat is tender. If the pan becomes dry before the beef is done, add a little hot water and continue cooking over low heat.
Chuck or another well-flavoured, braising cut works well for Diced Beef and Onion Sauté when you have time to cook it until tender. For a quicker version, choose a naturally tender cut and avoid cutting the pieces too large.
For tender Diced Beef and Onion Sauté, cut the beef into evenly sized pieces and let tougher cuts cook gently until tender. Cooking them too briefly can leave them chewy, while a little hot water in the pan helps prevent the meat from drying out.

Diced beef and onion sauté is a straightforward Turkish-style home-cooked dish: bite-sized pieces of beef are cooked in a pan with onions, which soften and turn gently sweet as the meat browns. Some versions include peppers, tomatoes or spices, but the beef and onion remain the defining combination.
It is usually served hot as a main course, with rice, bulgur, bread or a fresh salad. For English-speaking cooks elsewhere, it also works well alongside roasted vegetables or potatoes. The beef makes it a protein-rich dish, while the carbohydrate content is relatively low. Choose a lean cut and go easy on the cooking oil for a lighter meal; extra vegetables add freshness and balance.
