Beef is a tasty and low-fat meat, from which you can cook a huge number of dishes. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the recipes for some of them.
Prune beef (recipe) - festive, simple and affordable
The dish is prepared quickly and simply, which, undoubtedly, is its additional advantage.
We need 300-500 grams of beef (preferably pulp), 15-25 berries of prunes (not too sweet, as the meat will have a cloying taste), several medium-sized onions, two or three tablespoons of tomato paste, spices and salt to taste, cooking oil for cooking.
Preparing beef with prunes (the recipe is very simple) like this:
Step one. We rinse and dry the meat, cut it into portioned pieces, small cubes, and then season with spices and salt.
Step Two Cut the onions in half rings, put them in a well-heated pan, and then leave to simmer on low heat for about ten minutes.
Step Three The next step in the preparation of a dish such as beef with prunes (the recipe can be slightly changed, depending on personal preferences) is the preparation of prunes. Wash the berries, dry, cut into small pieces. The amount of prune is determined independently, depending on personal preferences.
Step Four Fry the meat in well-heated oil until a brown crust forms, no more than three to four minutes, add the onion prepared earlier as well as the tomato to the meat. We mix the resulting mass, season with water or broth (the amount will again depend on personal preferences). For further cooking, the meat can be transferred to a pan with thick walls.
Step Five We season our sauce with spices to taste, after which we continue to simmer it over low heat for an hour, stirring occasionally.
Step Six Add prunes to the stewed beef, simmer until tender. For young meat, 20 minutes will be enough, for more mature meat - an hour and a half. The ideal side dish for a dish such as beef with prunes (we hope you liked the recipe) is rice.
Enjoy your meal!
