Soak the pearled wheat overnight in plenty of cold water.
Soak the brined vine leaves in hot water for 5 minutes to remove excess salt, then drain.
Sear the diced beef in vegetable oil in the pot for 8 minutes.
Add the water, soaked wheat, and cooked chickpeas to the pot, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
Tear the vine leaves into large pieces by hand and add them to the soup.
Dice the onion, soften it in butter for 6 minutes, add the tomato paste, and toast for 2 minutes.
Add the tomato paste sauce, salt, and black pepper to the soup and cook over low heat for 25 minutes.
Drizzle red pepper flakes foamed in butter over the top, rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Tear the vine leaves by hand rather than cutting them neatly; using a knife weakens the rustic texture and the character of yirtma asi.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve yirtma asi hot with red pepper butter on top, optional pickles, and village bread.
