About this dish

Tantuni is a spicy Turkish dish consisting of julienne cut beef or lamb, stir-fried on a unique traditional metal plate called a sac. Originating from the Mersin province in southern Turkey, it has become one of the country's most popular street foods. Distinct from other Turkish kebabs or döner, tantuni is characterized by its specific cooking method involving a combination of boiling and frying, the use of cottonseed oil, and the ritual of steaming the bread atop the cooking meat. In 2017, "Mersin Tantunisi" was granted a Geographical Indication (GI) registration by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.
