Cut 4 × 500 g of beef into tiny cubes.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan and sauté the beef until it changes color.

Add 1 cup of water, close the lid, and simmer on low until the meat is tender, checking after 20-30 minutes.

If the meat is not soft, add more water as needed, totaling 1 and 1/2 cups.

To make lavash, mix 275 ml tap water, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 500 g of flour.

Knead the mixture until it forms a soft, pliable dough, optionally adding butter.

Cut the dough into 10 pieces and shape into balls; let rest for 15 minutes.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, using flour to prevent sticking.

Heat a gözleme pan over medium-high heat and cook each lavash for about 30 seconds on one side, then flip and cook for another 20-30 seconds until spots appear.

Prepare ayran by whisking 2 cups of yogurt with half a teaspoon of salt and cold water, adding ice cubes to chill.

Wash the onions lightly, rub with salt and sumac, and prepare lemon wedges for serving.

Cut the lavash in half, season with paprika and salt, and press it in the pan to warm it up.

Assemble the wraps with the cooked beef and fresh ingredients like onions, tomatoes, and parsley.
