Description

Meat with gravy is a recipe that seems to have emerged on its own, and one that humanity has long embraced. Beef, by its very nature, possesses a rich and aromatic juice. Making a sauce from it is incredibly simple; you just need to combine slices of meat with water, and add sautéed onions, pepper, and wheat flour, which will give the sauce a wonderful texture. This dish can be served with anything – grains, vegetables, and especially potatoes of all kinds work well as a side, but you can also enjoy it on its own, simply dipping a thick piece of bread into the flavorful liquid.

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the meat into small pieces.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil and sauté the meat over high heat until it is golden brown. If the skillet is small, it's better to cook the meat in batches.

Step 3

Transfer the seared meat to a thick-walled pot.

Step 4

Chop the onion finely and sauté it in the same skillet until golden brown.

Step 5

Transfer the onions to the pot with the meat.

Step 6

Season the meat and onions with pepper and just a little salt, add water, bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for 40 to 60 minutes.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add the flour and cook, stirring, until the flour turns a caramel color.

Step 8

Pour 3 ladles of broth from the pot with meat into the saucepan with the flour and whisk until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the resulting sauce into the pot with the meat, stir, add tomato paste, sugar, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Stir again, cover with a lid, and simmer for another 20–30 minutes.
