Elk Shurpa

Shurpa is a national eastern dish. It is prepared from different types of meat, including elk. It is similar to beef, but has a richer taste. Elk meat must be properly prepared, since elk meat has large fibers and, to prevent it from becoming dry and tough, it must be kept in water or marinated. When buying, choose a pink fillet with white veins. If the elk meat is dark, then the animal is old.

How to cook Elk Shurpa

Step 1

Elk Shurpa

Cook the elk. Place the meat in a frying pan with melted lard and fry until golden brown for about 15 minutes. Then transfer to a saucepan, add 3 liters of water and cook over low heat for 60 minutes.

Step 2

Elk Shurpa

Combine the meat with vegetables. Add potatoes to the pan with broth, cook for 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and carrots, cook for another 10 minutes. Then add onion, pepper and garlic. After 5 minutes, add bay leaf, herbs, salt and spices. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

Elk Shurpa - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage
