Ingredients
Show ingredients
- stewed beef – 150 grams;
- potatoes (large) – 2 pieces;
- onion (medium) – 1 piece;
- garlic – 2 cloves;
- tomato paste – 1.5 teaspoons;
- ground pepper;
- salt.
Preparation
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the prepared potatoes into medium cubes, chop the onion not too finely, and peel the garlic cloves.
- Rinse the pot (750 ml) and dry it with a towel. You can use 2 small pots for cooking and serve the dish in them. Place half of the potato cubes on the bottom of the clay container, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Add the chopped onion (1/2 part) and the 2 peeled cloves of garlic on top.
- Evenly distribute the stewed meat with fat over the onions and place an equal amount of tomato paste on both sides; it will mix with the contents when boiling and add color and a slight sourness to the dish. If there is little fat in the stew, additionally pour in vegetable oil or add butter.
- Distribute the remaining onions. Set the oven to 200 degrees.
- Place the remaining potatoes and press down the contents slightly with your fingers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Pour in water or meat broth so that the liquid does not completely cover the potato cubes.
- Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the oven for 1 hour. During this time, the potatoes should become soft, and there should be a little liquid left at the bottom. Check the vegetables for readiness with a knife.
- We take out the incredibly fragrant potatoes with stewed meat, open it, and let it stand for 1-2 minutes until the boiling stops.
- Stir the contents of the pot, place it on the table on a thick napkin, or immediately serve the dish on portioned plates with a light vegetable salad or your favorite pickles. Cook this second dish according to our recipe. Enjoy your meal.
Cooking tips
- The potatoes in pots will become even more aromatic if complemented with a mixture of dried herbs. Good choices include khmeli-suneli, Provencal, or Italian herbs.
- If you replace the tomato paste with sour cream (2 tbsp), the dish will have an amazing creamy taste.
- If desired, you can complement the potatoes with grated hard cheese. Remove the lid 5 minutes before cooking, sprinkle with cheese, and bake.
- To diversify the dish, add other vegetables. Leeks, zucchini, and carrots work well. Then, the amount of potatoes in the recipe should be reduced.
- Using this method, you can prepare potatoes with canned horse meat, chicken, or pork. The dishes will have different flavors.
