Stew with beef and vegetables in vegetable oil
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Stew has always been considered a meat dish. Today I suggest preparing it with beef or veal. In the 19th century, stew was considered the main dish in every Russian household. Later, it began to be made with mushrooms or poultry. Beef and vegetable stew cooked in vegetable oil is an excellent option for a hearty family lunch. The finished dish can be served at the table.
