Beef with pasta
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To keep the beef tender and not tough, I recommend stewing it. Fried beef is only good as steaks. You can stew the beef in tomato sauce or in cream; both options go perfectly with pasta. To prepare beef with pasta, I recommend using heavy cream with at least 20% fat. The pasta can be any kind—spirals, spaghetti, etc. Serve hot.

Cut the beef into thin strips or slices. Sear in the same pan until browned, then add water until the meat is half submerged. Reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, or until tender (beef takes a long time to cook; add water occasionally if needed).
