Turkish Style Beef Stir fry “SAC TAVA” / Sac Tawa & Ancient Bulgur Pilav



“Saç Tava” or Tawa is one of the traditional specialty dishes of Turkish cuisine. It is known as a pre-wedding dish in some regions, and you can find it in most Turkish restaurants. Written recipe: https://www.turkishfoodtravel.com/2021/03/23/turkish-style-beef-sac-tava/
It is cubed meat, beef stir fry in special tawa pans, with onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and some spices. Usually, it is served with rice pilav, but I will show you a healthier version with bulgur wheat pilav.
About Siyez and Bulgur Wheat:
Siyez bulgur or translated as Einkorn Wheat. It is one of the oldest cultivated grains discovered in early civilizations in Anatolia. It is more nutritious, as it has a different gluten structure than actual wheat grain. It is the pure original form of wheat and has never been hybridized or genetically modified.

500gr. beef in small cubes

    Assalamualaikum ..I am your silent subscriber and have been watching your art of beautiful cooking for a long time 'Mashallah'. I have a quick question for you.I have heard that in Turkey u guys have an age old herb which if given to a patient can clear all the cholesterol from his body. I have also heard it is made in some kind of a tea. Since you have a deep knowledge of Turkish history and culture…I really admire that..can you please give me specific knowledge on that….I have a patient who is in a critical condition and he is ready to come there and drink that herbal medicine.
    Waiting eagerly for your answer. " "Jazakallah khair"

    Looks delicious! Can we use tomato salça instead of tomato purée? Also what’s the name of the other grain that was used,? Could you mention the name in Turkish? Is it available in İstanbul, in BIM or Şok?
