Stewed beef with zucchini and other vegetables can be served as an independent hot dish or supplemented with any side dish. For me, everything is very organic in this version and I don’t want to add anything. Vegetables cook quite quickly, you only need to simmer the meat until tender. And the cooking time just depends on the quality of the meat. But there is nothing complicated - you fried it, poured it with water, and while the meat is cooking, you can do a lot of useful things. Young zucchini are best suited for this dish, in this case they do not need to be peeled.

Рецепт

1. Rinse the beef and cut into comfortable pieces.

7. When there is very little water left, add the onion and, stirring, keep on fire for another 5 minutes.
