Method

  1. 01

    In the classical representation of Azu - a Tatar dish, which is thinly sliced meat, fried and stewed with any vegetables. As meat, lamb, beef or young horse meat is used, and as vegetables: tomatoes, potatoes, onions and pickles.

    What we see on the shelves of stores called Azu is nothing but a special sliced meat, but not a famous dish. I suggest that you start preparing it immediately :

  3. 03

    Wash the beef flesh and cut into thin pieces, as in the photo.

  4. 04

    Infuse 50 ml of vegetable oil on the pan and put on fire. When the oil is warmed, put the meat in it.

    Roast beef on a high heat for about 7-10 minutes. When the meat is ready, drain the excess liquid, and put the meat on a plate.

  6. 06

    Clean the potatoes and cut them with small pieces.

  7. 07

    In the pan, warm a sufficiently large amount of vegetable oil and roast potatoes, until half-ready.

    Finely cut onion, tomatoes and pickle.

  9. 09

    Roast the onions in vegetable oil.

  10. 10

    Add to the onion tomatoes and pickles, mix, cover and stew on a small heat for 10-15 minutes.

  11. 11

    Beef, potatoes and vegetables fold in a large pan. Sprinkle and pepper, add barberry, I also add Tabasco sauce for spiciness. Pour 250 ml of water, mix and put on fire. Bring to a boil, reduce the fire and extinguish 20-25 minutes. 5 minutes before the end of cooking, add crushed garlic and bay leaf.

    Ready azu of beef with pickles to spread on plates and serve with black bread and fresh vegetables.
