Step 1

Step 1
How to make beef and potato stew? Prepare the indicated products. It is better to take beef meat fresh, not previously frozen. If this is not possible, then the meat must first be defrosted naturally. Choose non-starchy varieties of potatoes so that they retain their shape during cooking. Vegetable oil for frying meat. Spices can be chosen according to your taste. Prepare a pan with a thick bottom.

Step 2

To prepare this dish, choose young beef, without tendons; you can even replace it with veal. If the meat is not young, you may have to increase its cooking time in step 3. Rinse the selected meat under cold running water and dry with a paper towel. Cut the meat into large cubes. Pour vegetable oil into a pan and heat it up. Place the sliced beef in a single layer and fry evenly on each side.

Add chopped onions to the meat and fry together for a couple of minutes, then pour in hot water so that it barely covers all the meat. Reduce heat, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat until cooked. Depending on the meat chosen, this may take from 30 minutes to 2 hours. To avoid a lot of scale during stewing, raw meat can be filled with water before frying, brought to a boil, then rinsed and fried as indicated in step
