(pseudo)Russian beef stew

Overview

One time when I was reading a novel, I saw the Russian-style beef stew stewed by the protagonist. After finishing it, I made it according to the general steps written in the article~ Unlike Chinese stew, which has a strong taste, this one relies entirely on butter and spirits to enhance the flavor. Emma, I am a little excited to post a recipe for the first time, so I will be verbose. Xiaoxi, I don’t cook very well, but it’s guaranteed to be delicious~ It’s suitable for cooking and eating when the family is at home in winter. . .

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the beef bought from the supermarket, cut it into pieces, put it in a pot and blanch it with boiling water to remove the blood bubbles (there are no beef pieces sold, so you can only use beef slices instead, the meat pieces are the best) ps: Because Xiaoxi has no concept of numbers, so the following ingredients are all added or subtracted according to the actual number of people eating, and no specific quantities are marked here~

   

2. 2 Put the ginger slices into the broth pot, bring to a boil over high heat, add two spoons of vodka, then add the meat pieces and continue cooking. ps: If you want a better taste, you can choose to buy ox tail bones in the supermarket and cook them in clear soup yourself. However, this time has to be calculated separately. Xiaoxi is lazy, so he directly uses beef broth instead

   

3. 3 Cut the potatoes into cubes, cut half into large pieces, and cut the other half into small pieces for later use. Pour the tomatoes with boiling water to remove the skin and cut into small pieces

   

4. 4 Cut carrots into cubes and set aside

   

5. 5 Cut onions into strips and set aside

   

6. 6 Slice mushrooms and set aside

   

7. 7 While the soup is cooking, sauté the onions and mushrooms in butter, then pour them into the pot and continue cooking

   

8. 8 Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, then cut into small pieces and fry with olive oil until there is gurgling soup, then pour it into the pot. Remember not to stew beef and don’t add water except for the broth. Everything depends on the tomato soup, so you can fry more tomatoes

   

9. 9 Put the potatoes and carrots cut into smaller pieces into the pot, then pour a spoonful of vodka or other white wine and continue to cook for about 30 minutes

   

10. 10 Use a fork to check if the meat is tender, then put large chunks of potatoes in. At this time, you can steam some rice and cook some noodles. Wait until the potatoes are cooked to the softness you like. Add salt, basil leaves, parsley, black pepper and other seasonings, and you are ready to go~
