Well, let's go choose the main character of your table - beef. To make beef with prunes in the oven not only tasty, but also healthy, you must choose the right meat. Since you will bake beef, choose meat with a small layer of internal fat. It will help your culinary "masterpiece" stay juicy and tender. Leave lean beef for frying or stewing.

Let's start preparing your culinary miracle. You will need: 1-1.5 kg of beef, 150 gr of prunes, 2 cloves of garlic, 1pcs carrots, 1pcs onions, dill and parsley, salt and spices to taste.

Season the beef with salt, pepper and grate finely chopped garlic on both sides. If you want to give the dish some special taste and aroma, use your favorite spices. Refrigerate the meat for a few minutes.

Rinse it and soak in hot water (no more than 60 ° C) for 10 minutes. Drain and cut into strips. Grate the peeled carrots on a coarse grater, cut the onions into cubes and fry until golden. Stir the prunes, onions, carrots, dill and parsley. Do not forget to salt a little stuffing.
Remove the beef from the refrigerator and place it on the table like a book. Put the filling on the meat, evenly distributing it, tightly roll the beef into a roll. Wrap the roll in foil.
