Yogurt meze with crispy onion and shredded beef layers tender, pulled beef and crunchy onion over thick yogurt. It is a meze-style dish rather than a single fixed recipe, and works well as part of a spread built around yogurt, meat and contrasting textures.
The cool, tangy base balances the savory beef and crisp topping. In Turkey, it can be served alongside other mezes, with bread for scooping; elsewhere, it also makes a substantial starter or a light meal with salad. It provides protein and calcium, while the beef makes it more filling than a simple yogurt dip. For a lighter version, use a lean cut of beef and crisp the onions with less oil.
