Georgian solyanka

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Georgian-style solyanka has nothing in common with our traditional solyanka. It is beef stewed with tomatoes and herbs. You can also prepare this dish using veal or pork. The most important thing is that the dish should be spicy. My solyanka turned out very tasty, with tender and aromatic meat. It can be served as a standalone dish or with roasted vegetables. The finished dish is ready to be served.

   Cut the beef into 2x2 cm cubes. Finely chop the onion. Place the beef and onion into a pot, add a small amount of water, and simmer over medium heat in a covered pot. Add a little more water if necessary to prevent the meat from burning.
