   Prepare the ingredients according to the list.

The meat is thoroughly washed, dried and cut into cubes or cubes.

   Onions need to be used large or a couple of pieces of small, because it is the basis of gravy. Peel the onion from the husk and cut half into large pieces or halves of rings, and the second part – finely. Pour vegetable oil into the pan. Turn on the fire, when the oil warms up well, put onions on it. Fry the onion, stirring with a spatula, literally, for five minutes, so that it becomes transparent and lets the juice flow.

   Then add the cooked meat to the onion in the frying pan, mix and continue to fry them together on a smolny fire for about 10 minutes, stirring with a spatula so that the meat grabs the crust on the outside, which will allow the juice to stay inside, and the meat to be juicy and tender in the finished dish. Fry for about 10 minutes, no more.

   In a separate container, stir one or two tablespoons of wheat flour in a quarter of a glass of water, the amount of flour depends on the desired thickness of the gravy.
