Beef stew with potatoes
Description
This recipe won't take much time. I think this is the easiest beef stew with potatoes I've ever seen. It turns out a bit fatty since the ingredients are more fried than stewed, but oh, how delicious it is! So I believe it's perfect for special occasions when you want to treat yourself! :) 1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them as you usually do, but preferably thinly—this will significantly speed up cooking. Take the beef out to defrost if needed, then cut it into small pieces. 2. Peel the onion and slice it thinly into half-rings. 3. Place a frying pan on the stove and heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Fry the onion in it. 4. Once the onion turns golden, remove it from the pan. In the same pan, sear the beef until all excess liquid has evaporated. Add another 2 tablespoons of oil and continue frying until a crust forms. 5. Spread half of the fried onion in a single layer over the beef. Season with salt and pepper. 6. Add the next layer—potatoes. Season them with salt and pepper as well. Top with the remaining onion. 7. Pour in water (or broth) to cover, bring to a boil under a lid, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until both the potatoes and meat are tender. It's ready! This dish goes wonderfully with various vegetable salads, sprinkled with fresh herbs, for any occasion or no occasion at all :) I hope you'll enjoy this beef and potato stew recipe. Good luck! Serve hot.
