Preparation of Çubuk Homaçası:

The meat used in the production of Çubuk Homaçası is sourced from large cattle raised within the geographical region. Beef is cut into pieces approximately 10-15 cm in size. The two sides of the meat are seared in clarified butter for 1-2 minutes by turning them with a spoon. After searing, the meats are placed on a food-grade cloth or fabric to drain the excess oil and blood.

At the bottom of the pot where the dish will be cooked, pieces of leg bones are arranged. The seared meats are placed on top of the bones, and boiled water is added to the pot along with salt and red pepper, reaching the same level as the meats. Once the water starts boiling, the pot is tightly covered to prevent air from entering, and it is left to cook for approximately 7-8 hours. During boiling, the marrow from the bones placed at the bottom of the pot emerges, and the dish cooks along with the marrow.Çubuk Homaçası is served by placing the meats on a plate with the marrow-infused broth. Optionally, clarified butter can be poured on top.
