INGREDIENTS
- 500 g beef
- 3 medium-sized onions
- 100 g fat or oil
- 3 medium-sized tomatoes
- half bunch of parsley
- sumac
- paprika
- black pepper
- flaked chili
- 5 lavash or tortilla wraps
INSTRUCTIONS
- Peel the onions and cut them into very thin slices. In a bowl, mix them together with sumac and parsley. Cut the tomatoes to small cubes. Cut the beef against the grain into small slices or cubes.
- In a frying pan stir-fry the beef on hot oil or fat. Add the salt and continue cooking on low heat for about 20 minutes, until the beef releases the water and the liquid evaporates and gets absorbed by the beef. Add more water if needed and cook until the beef gets softer and more tender.
- When the water is gone, add two more tablespoons of oil or fat, add the spices, fry for a minute, then add a cup of water and cook slowly on low heat until you get the desired amount of the sauce.
- Cover the beef gravy in the pan with lavash bread or tortilla wrap for a minute to heat it up. When heated, place the wrap on a plate and top it with tomatoes, onion mixture, two or three tablespoons of beef and sprinkle with a little bit more of parsley.Make sure you close at least one side of the wrap to prevent the sauce from leaking.
- Serve warm with additional salad and/or pickles. Enjoy :)
NOTES
Tips for a perfect homemade tantuni wrap:
- When selecting beef for tantuni, it's best to choose cuts that are more tender and have less connective tissue, as this can result in a chewy texture. It's also recommended to cut the beef into small cubes or slices, or you can use ground beef as a substitute.
- To ensure the best flavor in your tantuni, it's important to choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes. Avoid refrigerating them before use, as exposure to low temperatures can affect their taste, aroma, and texture.
- Don't skip the beef tenderizing process to achieve the perfect bite.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of meat for your tantuni, such as lamb, chicken, turkey, or goat.
- When assembling the tantuni wrap, make sure to wrap the lavash bread or tortilla wrap as tightly as possible. Close it up at least on one side to prevent any opening or leaking.
