1. Prepare the meat
Place the sliced meat in a bowl and mix with olive oil, paprika, cumin, black pepper, salt, and garlic. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the meat
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the meat and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through.
3. Make the tomato sauce
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, paprika, water, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Prepare the bread
Cut the pide or flatbread into bite-sized pieces. Warm them briefly in a skillet or oven until soft and lightly toasted.
5. Assemble the dish
Arrange the warm bread pieces on a serving plate. Spoon some tomato sauce over the bread, then place the kebab meat on top.
6. Add the yogurt & butter
Serve generous spoonfuls of yogurt alongside the meat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter, mix with paprika, and drizzle the hot butter over the kebab.
🌿 Serving Tip
Serve Iskender Kebab immediately, while the bread is warm, the tomato sauce is hot, and the butter is still sizzling. Add a little fresh parsley for color if desired.
