Step 1:
How to make meat with eggplant and zucchini? Wash the beef pulp and dry it with a paper towel. Cut the meat into portions.
Step 2:
Heat a deep frying pan over high heat. Pour in the sunflower oil. Warm it up. Lay out the meat to fry. Beef should be browned on all sides. Once this has happened, add tomato paste, a little water and simmer the meat under the lid until soft. It took me about an hour.
Step 3:
Wash the eggplant and chop it into medium-sized cubes.
Step 4:
Zucchini also wash and cut into cubes.
Step 5:
I also have a yellow squash. I do the same with him.
Step 6:
Add the vegetables to the pan with the beef. Add salt and pepper to taste, mix. Simmer the dish until the vegetables are ready without a lid, adjusting the desired amount of sauce by evaporation.

Before stewing, it will be good to fry the beef on high heat. This is done in order to "seal" the meat juice inside each piece. So, with further heat treatment, the beef will be soft and juicy.
Beef is ready when a separate piece can be freely divided in half with a culinary spatula.
To reduce the cooking time of beef, you can cook this dish in a pressure cooker. So, thanks to the high pressure, the cooking time will be reduced by at least half.
Yellow squash gives the finished dish a more interesting look. But it tastes no different from the usual green squash. So you can safely replace it with the usual one.
You just need to remember that if the zucchini is no longer young, then you need to cut off the peel and remove the seeds.
Tomato paste is also replaceable. Just use a ripe tomato. It can be passed through a blender, or simply chopped into cubes.
I see the serving of such meat with boiled pasta or mashed potatoes on the side.
The dish will appeal to both adults and the youngest. Since the beef will turn out tender and soft with a rich thick sauce.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

Beef can be replaced with any other type of meat that you like best. But keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the taste and calorie content of the dish will change. Pork and lamb tend to be fatter than beef, and chicken fillet or turkey are leaner. At the same time, the cooking time depends not only on the type of meat, but also on which part of the carcass is used and how old or young the meat is.
