Frequently Asked Questions About Low-Sauce Turkish Beef Stew
What is low-sauce Turkish beef stew?
Low-sauce Turkish beef stew, known in Turkish as susuz tas kebabı, is a dish of beef cooked slowly with little added liquid. The covered pot traps moisture released by the meat, so the finished stew has much less gravy than many conventional stews.
Why is low-sauce Turkish beef stew cooked with little water?
Low-sauce Turkish beef stew is cooked with little or no added water because the meat and onions release moisture as they heat. A tight-fitting lid and low heat help that liquid cook the beef without turning the dish into a soupy stew.
What cut of beef works best for low-sauce Turkish beef stew?
Chuck or another collagen-rich braising cut works well for low-sauce Turkish beef stew because it becomes tender during slow cooking. Cut the beef into evenly sized cubes so the pieces soften at roughly the same pace.
How do you keep low-sauce Turkish beef stew from becoming tough?
Cook low-sauce Turkish beef stew gently until the beef is tender, rather than trying to rush it over high heat. Keep the pot covered; if all the moisture evaporates before the meat softens, add a small splash of hot water.
Is low-sauce Turkish beef stew the same as tas kebabı?
Low-sauce Turkish beef stew is a less-gravy style of tas kebabı, rather than a completely unrelated dish. Tas kebabı is commonly served with more sauce, while the susuz version is cooked so the meat's released juices reduce substantially.
Where does low-sauce Turkish beef stew come from?
Low-sauce Turkish beef stew comes from Turkish home cooking and is a variation of tas kebabı. The name susuz means “without water,” referring to the restrained use of added liquid, not to a dish made with completely dry meat.
Can you make low-sauce Turkish beef stew in a pressure cooker?
Yes, low-sauce Turkish beef stew can be made in a pressure cooker. The beef softens faster under pressure, but the cooker still needs the minimum liquid required by its manufacturer, even for a recipe designed to have little sauce.
What is low-sauce Turkish beef stew usually served with?
Low-sauce Turkish beef stew is often served with rice or bulgur pilaf, which pairs well with the concentrated meat juices. Bread, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad can also round out the meal.
How should you store leftover low-sauce Turkish beef stew?
Store leftover low-sauce Turkish beef stew in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, adding a little water if needed to keep the beef moist.
Can low-sauce Turkish beef stew be frozen?
Yes, low-sauce Turkish beef stew freezes well. Divide it into airtight portions once cooled, then thaw and reheat gently until hot throughout; a small splash of water can loosen the reduced juices during reheating.

What is Low-Sauce Turkish Beef Stew?
Low-sauce Turkish beef stew is a home-style dish of beef chunks cooked gently with very little added liquid, often allowing the meat to soften in its own juices. Onion and tomato may be used for flavour, while the defining feature is a scant, concentrated sauce rather than a broth. The beef becomes tender and savoury, with the meat taking centre stage.
In Turkey it is commonly served as a main course with rice, bulgur or bread, often alongside yoghurt or a fresh salad. It is protein-rich and relatively low in carbohydrates; a 100 g portion provides 17.2 g of protein. For a lighter plate, serve a smaller portion of rice and add vegetables or salad.
