Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    The best way to prepare soft beef is to stew it in a sauce. I really like how this meat is combined with sour cream, it turns out not only very soft, but also fragrant. Today I want to cook this wonderful dish with you.

  2. 02

    Wash the meat and cut it in portion pieces. You can cut small, you can cut big, I prefer medium-sized pieces.

  3. 03

    In the pan, warm up vegetable oil and roast meat on both sides in parallel, peppering it.

  4. 04

    Clean the bulb and cut with semi-rings.

  5. 05

    Lightly roast the onions in the same pan where the meat was.

  6. 06

    Put meat at the bottom of the pan, and onions on top of it.

  7. 07

    Put also in a pan 2 tablespoons of flour, sour cream, salt, dried basil, black pepper peas, bay leaf. I added flour to make sure the gravy wasn't too liquid.

  8. 08

    Pour water above the ground on 1 phalanx of the finger and bring to a boil. Reduce the fire, cover and extinguish 1.5 hours.

  9. 09

    Stewed beef in sour cream is served with a garnish, pouring gravy on it.

  10. 10

    If you have already tried to cook meat in this way, I can recommend a recipe for Shurpa beef, which is prepared with tomatoes. I am sure that this independent dish will be to your taste.

Ready to serve

Serve the dish as directed and enjoy it while it is at its best.

Bon appétit — enjoy your meal!
