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

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.
