How to make beef with prunes in the oven? Prepare the ingredients. It is better to take young beef, the meat is more tender and tasty, and of course, a tendon-free tendon. Rinse the meat, ideally leave it for a couple of hours in cold water to soak the blood. Cut into portions, the smaller the pieces, the faster the dish is cooked. Rinse the cut meat again and throw it back in a colander so that you have extra glass liquid.

Meanwhile, make the other ingredients. Use prunes for the dish without seeds. Rinse the berries well, pour hot water in a bowl and leave for 15 minutes to swell a little. Wash the carrots, peel and cut into cubes, straws or circles, as you like, but it is better to keep the carrots soft after cooking. Peel and cut the bulb onions into half rings.

Put the pieces of meat in a dry, thick-bottomed pan, put on a heat and simmer in your own juice for about 10 minutes under the lid. Then remove the lid and let the liquid evaporate completely. Due to the observance of this order, beef will be especially soft and juicy in the process of cooking meat.

Only then pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into the pan with the meat. Simmer the meat, stirring occasionally to cook evenly and brown. Cover the pan with a lid and fry the meat for about 10 more minutes.

Then put the meat in a roasting dish, greased with vegetable oil.

Top with the prunes. If the dried fruits are large, then they can be cut into two or four parts.

In a pan where the meat was fried, fry carrots in the same oil until soft. Put it in a tin with meat.

Send onions to the same pan for roasting, fry them until transparent and also put on the meat.

Pour water into the mold to cover the contents. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover the mould with foil on top. Put the meat in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for about an hour. Then remove the foil and bake for about 30 more minutes. during this time, the liquid should evaporate almost completely.

Place the dish in plates and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
