Kıyratma can be made with lamb or beef. Lamb gives the stew a more pronounced flavor, while beef works well too; cut the meat into evenly sized pieces so it cooks consistently.

Tomatoes, peppers, and seasonal vegetables can be used in Kıyratma. There is no single fixed vegetable list for every version, so add vegetables based on how long they need to cook to avoid over-softening them.
