Lentils with beef
Lentils with beef is a hearty and healthy dish. For cooking according to the recipe, it is better to choose red lentils. They cook faster and do not require soaking. They also contain fiber and useful amino acids. When buying, pay attention to the shape: the beans should be clean and smooth, and should not differ in color. Parts of beef such as breast, shoulder, or thigh meat are suitable for stewing. A sign of fresh, soft meat is a bright red color and white fat. Yellow fat is a sign of toughness.
How to cook Lentils with beef
Step 1

Fry the meat. To stew the meat, you need a large pot so that the meat is fried rather than boiled before stewing. Pour oil into a heated frying pan and fry the meat for about 5-6 minutes until a crust forms. Add the onion and carrot and simmer over low heat under a lid. When the vegetables are fried, add tomato paste, basil and pepper to the meat. Pour in 100 ml of water, stir and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes under a closed lid.
Step 2

Add lentils to the meat. Red lentils do not need to be pre-soaked, they cook quickly. Pour them into the frying pan with the meat, pour in 300 ml of water. Mix all the ingredients and simmer for 20-25 minutes. If necessary, add salt to the lentils and meat.
