Cut the eggplants into finger-thick pieces, soak them in salted water for 12 minutes, and dry them.
Cut the green peppers lengthwise, dice one tomato, and slice the other two into rounds.
Cook the beef cubes in a pot for 10 minutes, until they release and reabsorb their juices.
Add the onion and garlic and soften them for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, diced tomato, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then cook with the hot water for 20 minutes.
Lightly brown the eggplant and peppers in the vegetable oil for 6 minutes, then drain.
Transfer the meat to an oven dish and arrange the fried vegetables and tomato rounds on top.
Bake the tray in a 195°C oven for 14 minutes, until the sauce settles into the vegetables.
💡 Tip: Soak the eggplants in salted water for 12 minutes before frying; this reduces oil absorption and keeps them from falling apart in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the kebab on a wide platter with optional lavash, sumac onions, and ayran for a guest table.
