Brown the onion and minced beef in a pan, then add chopped peppers and tomatoes. Season and simmer gently until the vegetables soften and the beef is fully cooked. Add only a little water at first, since the tomatoes and peppers release liquid.
Minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew pairs well with rice, bulgur, or crusty bread to soak up the tomato sauce. For a lighter meal, serve it with a crisp salad or plain yogurt.
Mild green peppers work well in minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew because they soften without overpowering the beef and tomato. Add a hot pepper if you want heat, or use a sweet bell pepper for a milder, sweeter result.
Minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew cooks the meat and vegetables together in a pan. Stuffed peppers are filled with a meat-and-grain mixture and cooked whole; the stew is quicker to serve and does not need intact peppers.
Yes, minced lamb can replace the beef in minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew. Lamb gives the dish a richer flavor, so use seasoning such as black pepper, cumin, or paprika to complement it without masking the vegetables.
Yes, minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew freezes well. Cool it, divide it into sealed freezer-safe portions, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating until hot throughout. The peppers may be softer after thawing.
Refrigerate leftover minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew in a covered container once it has cooled. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until it is hot throughout, rather than repeatedly warming the whole batch.
Minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew can turn watery when the vegetables release liquid or too much water is added. Simmer it uncovered so excess liquid can evaporate, or cook the vegetables a little longer before adding any extra water.
Yes, you can make minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew without tomatoes, though it will lose its characteristic tangy sauce. Use a small amount of stock or water to keep it moist, and season to taste as it simmers.

Minced beef, onion, tomato and pepper stew is a Turkish home-style dish, made by simmering minced meat with onions, tomatoes and peppers until tender. The vegetables soften into a savoury, gently sweet sauce, while the meat makes the pot filling and substantial.
It is usually served hot in Turkey, often with rice, bulgur or bread to soak up the juices, and sometimes with yoghurt on the side. It is protein-rich and relatively low in carbohydrate, so it can work as a satisfying main course. For a lighter version, choose lean mince and use less oil.
