Let's make the ingredients. For this dish, it is better to take beef tenderloin, the meat should be fresh. Rinse the meat thoroughly, it is better to even soak it in cold water, leaving it for a couple of hours and changing the water several times to remove all harmful and blood. Remove the pieces of meat from the water and dry on a paper towel. Put my prunes in a bowl and pour hot water. We leave it for 15 minutes in the water, let it steam. Remove prunes from the water, dry on a paper towel, cut into several pieces if it is large. You need to prepare clay pots for baking in advance. They need to be poured with cold water and left for a few hours. The pores in the clay walls are fed with moisture, which will evaporate during baking, which will make the dish especially tasty, the meat soft and tender. Let's cook vegetables. My carrots, peel and cut into small cubes or straws. Clean the onions and cut them into halves of rings with a knife. We put pieces of meat in the pan, turn on the heat and fry meat first without oil, so that excess moisture evaporates and meat. Let him put out in his own juice under the lid for about 10 minutes. then pour in the vegetable oil and fry the meat until ruddy on both sides. Add prunes, onions and carrots to the meat, mix everything and fry over low heat for about 15 minutes to soften the vegetables. Add spices to taste: salt and ground black pepper. you can add any weed or other spices, but it is better not to interrupt the taste and aroma that prunes give the dish. Grease the bottom of the pots with vegetable oil. We put meat with vegetables in pots so that they fill them by two thirds. Pour water or broth so that the liquid is equal to the contents of the pots. We put it in the oven and turn it on 150 degrees. Bake about
