👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Drying the meat helps it sear better. - 2
Heat oil or lard in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the meat in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the meat and set aside.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Don't overcrowd the pot, as this will steam the meat instead of searing it. - 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- 4
Add the carrots and minced garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 5
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
- 6
Return the seared meat to the pot. Add the beef broth (or water), Krambambula liqueur (if using), bay leaves, allspice berries, and crushed juniper berries.
💡 Профессиональные советы: If not using Krambambula, a dark rum or brandy can be a substitute, or omit entirely. - 7
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Check periodically and add more liquid if needed. - 8
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves and whole spices before serving.
💡 Профессиональные советы: For a thicker stew, you can remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking, or thicken with a cornstarch slurry. - 9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This stew is excellent with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or simple boiled dumplings.
💡 Профессиональные советы: A dollop of sour cream can also be a nice addition.
