Beef stewed with potatoes

This is perhaps the most common dish that is served not only for lunch or dinner, but also on holidays. Because potatoes with meat are quick and easy to prepare, and there are ingredients for it at almost any time of the year.

Subtleties

  • You can stew any part of beef carcass. But if you need to cook meat quickly, it is best to stew the tenderloin. You can also use the inside of your hind legs or thick and thin edges. Such a fillet is almost without connective tissue, there are no tendons or films.
  • Spatula, backfill, brisket are used exclusively for stewing or boiling, because they need a longer heat treatment.
  • Pre-roasting meat improves its taste. But a golden mean is needed here, since uncooked meat turns out to be less fragrant, and the cooked pieces become dry, and even prolonged stewing will not make them soft and juicy.
  • Potatoes are added to meat only after it is cooked, otherwise the potatoes will boil quickly and the meat will not have time to become soft. Onions and carrots can be added in the process of roasting meat. They will give it a flavor and pleasant taste.
  • After pre-roasting, beef is poured with a small amount of water or broth and stewed until soft. The liquid must be hot, because cold water will instantly lower the temperature, the broth will boil again for a long time, and the meat itself may become hard.
  • Spicy herbs for beef with potatoes, you can take any, as long as they combine well with each other and do not clog the natural taste of potatoes with meat.
