Description

Tatar Style Stew. One of the few dishes that earned a place in the Soviet culinary tradition with a signature cut. Even today, in delis and supermarkets, you can find beef cut into strips and sold as stew. There are still debates about the dish itself, including what ingredients to use: beef or lamb, clarified butter or regular oil, and whether to simmer it in a cauldron or a heavy-bottomed skillet. There can be many variations of this dish, but its foundation always remains the same — it consists of meat cut into strips, potatoes, and tomato sauce.

Ingredients

Beef - 20 oz
Onion - 5 heads
Pickled Cauliflower - 3 pieces
Passata Tomato Sauce - 2 spoons
Potato - 0 lbs
Chicken Broth - 1 glass
Garlic - 3 cloves

Rinse the meat, cut it into strips, and lightly sauté it in a heated pot with vegetable oil.

Step 2

Add the onion, sliced into thin half-rings, and sauté the meat with the onion until the onion is soft.

Step 3

Add tomato paste and finely chopped or grated cucumbers. Pour in water or broth and simmer covered until the meat is fully cooked.
