How do you make beef beef classic? Prepare the ingredients. To prepare beef strogans, you should take fresh beef meat, without veins, films and fat. Better it will be young meat, then it will take less time to cook it. Medium-sized onions. Tomato paste can be replaced with tomatoes in your own juice or sauce. Spices can be taken to your liking. Prepare a deep frying pan or a thick-bottomed saute pan.

Rinse the fresh beef meat under running cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Cut the meat first with thin plates, and then with a long straw, necessarily across the fibers. If there are doubts about the meat (which will take a long time to cook), then the meat can be beaten slightly before, and then chopped. Also, before frying the meat, you can bring it to a boil in water, rinse it, and then fry it.

Place the pan on a high heat and heat with vegetable oil. Place the chopped beef and, with constant stirring, fry the beef pieces on all sides until ruddy. Put the meat on a warm plate next to the stove.

Peel the bulb onions and cut into half rings. In the same pan where the meat was fried, pour the vegetable oil and fry the onions for a few minutes.

Mix the beef with the flour and place in the pan to the fried onion, mix.

Add tomato paste, sour cream, salt and black ground pepper to the meat and onion to taste. Mix everything thoroughly. You can add laurel leaves, allspice peas or other spices at will.

Top up the boiling water (150-200 ml, you can add not immediately, but so much so that the water almost covers the meat, if necessary, add more water later). Stir, reduce the heat to less than average, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the beftrogans until the meat is ready. The cooking time will depend on the selected meat. The finished beef is soft, and the gravy is thick and fragrant.

Serve the finished meat with gravy hot. Pasta, buckwheat, rice or mashed potatoes are suitable for the side dish. Put a side dish, pieces of meat in each plate and pour over the delicious gravy. You can also sprinkle fresh chopped greens.
