Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make aza in Tatar with potatoes? Take a piece of beef, wash it and dry it well. Cut the meat into small pieces. Take immediately the dishes in which the azu will be prepared, put it on medium heat. Pour a little vegetable oil and heat it well. Lay out the sliced beef. Fry the meat over medium heat until golden brown.
Step 2:
Peel and chop the onion and carrot. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, and chop the onion. Add the vegetables to the pan with the meat. Turn down the heat and put out the meat and vegetables for about 10 minutes.
Step 3:
At this time, cut the washed tomatoes into pieces. Grate the pickled cucumbers on a coarse grater or simply cut with a knife. I prefer the option with grated cucumbers. Add tomatoes and cucumbers to the pan and continue stewing for another 10 minutes.
Step 4:
Peel the potatoes, rinse and cut into strips. Fry the potatoes in a separate frying pan with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil. Fry it until golden brown, but not until ready, so that the potatoes do not fall apart later.
Step 5:
Put the fried potatoes in a saucepan with the meat. Top up with hot water. It is important to add hot water, because cold meat can become tough. Aza can be prepared both thicker and completely liquid, similar to soup. Adjust the amount of water to your liking. Add a little salt and spices. Simmer the dish for another 10-15 minutes until fully cooked. Serve the aza hot. Enjoy your meal!
Meat azu with potatoes is a very tasty and satisfying dish for the everyday table. You can cook it from various types of meat - beef, lamb, pork, chicken. But traditionally it is made from beef.
The spice set can be adjusted to your liking. I most often use ground pepper and dry herbs - dill and parsley. But it doesn't hurt to add a little spice to this dish.
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 .
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 .
If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
