Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. Boil the egg and potato in advance and let them cool. It is also preferable to pre-boil the meat in salted water and leave it in the broth until it cools. This will make it juicier. If the tomatoes are large, three will be enough; if they are small, 5–6 will be quite sufficient.
