Meat in sour cream sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The meat turns out so delicious and tender that you can't even tell exactly what kind of meat you're eating. The delicate sauce slightly browns in the oven and, soaked with meat broth, becomes even more flavorful. The leftover broth can be used for other dishes. For now, I'll tell you: the ready dish can be served at the table.

Step 1
To prepare meat in sour cream sauce, we will use beef tenderloin. Place the meat into a wide pot. Pour in water until it completely covers the meat and slightly exceeds its level by 3-4 cm. Put the pot on the stove. When the water boils, skim off the foam. Add coarsely chopped carrots and onions, along with a few bay leaves. Simmer the meat over medium heat for 1.5 to 2 hours until tender. If the water evaporates, add more as needed, ensuring the meat remains fully covered throughout cooking.
