Beef in a pot

Beef in a pot - slow-cooked dish

Beef in a pot is a traditional Russian dish where meat is slowly stewed with vegetables in its own juices. Beef shoulder or brisket is used for cooking, which becomes especially tender with long simmering. Classic ingredients include potatoes, carrots, onions and spices. The dish is prepared in portion-sized pots, which preserves all the flavors and makes it especially delicious.

broth 500 ml
Vegetable oil 100 ml
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
dried herbs 2 tbsp
Beef 500 g
Carrot 1 pc.
tomato paste 3 tbsp

Шаг 1

Cut the beef into small pieces, having first pounded it well (to make it more tender).

Шаг 2

Fry carrots in a pan greased with vegetable oil, then add meat and tomato paste. Salt and pepper. Fry for 15-20 minutes.

Шаг 3

Put the meat in pots, sprinkle dried herbs on top. For pot dishes, I usually use dried dill. It adds aroma and is perfect for long simmering.

Шаг 4

Pour broth over the meat. It's better to use beef broth. Place in an oven preheated to 180-200°C for 40-60 minutes. The readiness of the meat can also be determined by its tenderness.
