Beef baked with potatoes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. For me, this simple recipe of beef baked with potatoes brings back childhood memories. Whenever my parents went to the countryside, they would ask me to prepare something tasty for them to eat upon their return. Overall, these were my first cooking attempts, and later this dish became my signature recipe. Try making it yourself—after all, a piece of meat and potatoes with onions are always available at home, and you can, in principle, replace the beef with any other meat. However, beef tastes better, and the meat turns out so tender that it easily separates into fibers and simply melts in your mouth. Below I offer you a detailed description. Serve hot.

Step 8
Now, in a separate container, mix sour cream with half a liter of warm water, add salt (remember that the potatoes were already salted), and stir well. Pour the liquid into the baking dish so that it covers the top layer, then place it in an oven preheated to 200°C. Bake at this temperature until the liquid begins to boil. Then reduce the heat to 150°C, cover the dish with a lid, and leave it for one hour. When the time is up, remove the lid and bake for another 20 minutes until a nice golden crust forms. Now you can taste it—enjoy your meal!
