- Gather your ingredients. Beef is tough and lean, so it needs a long cooking time — but the dishes you get from it are wonderful. Use young beef if you can, since it turns out tender and juicy after cooking. Rinse the piece of meat well; you can even soak it in cold water for a couple of hours. Cut the meat into small cubes and rinse it once more. Lay the pieces on a paper towel and let them dry. Wash the walnuts and dry them in the microwave or a dry skillet, then chop them finely with a knife or grind them in a blender. Wash the prunes, cover them with hot water, and let them sit for 15 minutes so they plump up slightly. Dry them on a paper towel and cut each into two or four pieces, depending on their size. Put the meat in a dry, heavy-bottomed skillet, cover it, and let it stew in its own juices. Then uncover and cook off the liquid over medium heat. Once it's gone, add the vegetable oil and brown the meat on all sides, turning the pieces. Add the prunes and salt, and pour in enough water to cover the contents of the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Then add the walnuts, holding back a teaspoon of chopped nuts for garnish. Season with ground black pepper to taste, and feel free to round out the flavor with your favorite spices or herbs. If the liquid has cooked away, add a little water, stir, and simmer for about 10 minutes more. Plate the meat and sprinkle the reserved chopped nuts on top. Serve the beef with prunes and walnuts. If you like, add a side — potatoes, grains, or braised vegetables all pair well with it. Enjoy!
