Preparation: Step 1
-
Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the preparation of stewed potatoes with beef in a pan. You can take any part of the beef, but for this I prefer to take a brisket with bones so that, while languishing potatoes, it boils in beef, strong broth.

Step 2
Rinse the beef under cold water. Dry with paper towels so that the meat is well fried and does not «cook» in a pan.
-
Step 3
Peel the meat from excess veins.
-
Step 4
Cut the beef into medium pieces of 2-4 cm in size. Large pieces are stewed longer, and small pieces can dry out, so try to observe the optimal size.
-
Step 5
Clean the onion. Cut into small cubes or thin half rings (as you are more convenient).
-
Step 6
Prepare a pan with a thick bottom for extinguishing potatoes with beef. The thick bottom allows the products to be evenly prepared and not to burn. Heat 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.
Fry the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and transparency. Stir constantly so that he does not burn.
-
Step 7
Grate the carrots on a coarse grater or cut into thin circles so that it softens evenly during stew.
-
Step 8
Add carrots to onions.

Step 9
Fry 5 minutes until the carrot begins to soften and give its sweet aroma to the dish.
-
Step 10
Put the pieces of beef. Fry over medium heat for 7-10 minutes. The pieces should become ruddy and slightly covered with a crust — it seals juices inside the meat and makes it more tender after stewing.
-
Step 11
Add tomato juice to meat with vegetables. Mix.
-
Step 12
Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut in large pieces about 2-4 cm. If you cut too finely, the potato will turn into mashed potatoes during stew.
-
Step 13
Add chopped potatoes. Mix.
-
Step 14
Pour in water or broth so that it almost covers the potatoes. Add bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the pan with a lid. Stew potatoes with beef over low heat for about 40-50 minutes. Make sure that the liquid does not boil — if necessary, add more water or broth. Potatoes should become soft, and beef should be tender.
-
Step 15
Clean the garlic. Finely chop or squeeze through the press.
-
Step 16
Add garlic 5 minutes before the end of cooking so that it can open the aroma, but does not lose taste. Try the dish and, if necessary, add more salt or spices.
-
Step 17
The stewed potatoes with beef are ready.
Remove from heat and let the dish brew under the lid for 10-15 minutes so that the tastes mix and become even more saturated. Then put in a plate and decorate with herbs.
Bon appetit!
