Recipe for cooking beef soup (with photo):
The process of cooking soup begins with the preparation of meat. In order for the beef was not tough, it is important to cut it properly. Divide the meat into portions across the grain. Longitudinal cutting will spoil it. It will be tougher. To cut the meat along the fibers become soft, it will have to cook much longer. Therefore, we make cuts so that in the process of dividing it into portions of the fiber cut with a knife.
Send the prepared pieces of beef to the pan and pour them so that the water slightly covers the meat. We bring the water with the meat in it to a boil, and then pour it out and wash the meat. This must be done because the first broth contains harmful substances that have accumulated in the muscle tissue of the animal. The second time we pour the pieces of beef with filtered or boiled water. As soon as the water begins to boil, gray foam will form on its surface. It must be carefully removed with a spoon, and the fire reduced to such an extent that the liquid barely gurgled. This will allow the broth to remain clear and fragrant. Dimmed broth does not look appetizing at all. On the readiness of meat we learn, pricked him with a fork. If a piece is pierced with difficulty, then the beef is not ready yet. If the fork enters easily, the beef is ready and you can lay the potatoes.
Cut the potatoes in small pieces as soon as the beef slices are sent to the pan and leave it in the water until the meat is cooked. In no case can not leave the potatoes without water. Interacting with air, it will acquire a shade of rust. Potato sticks fall asleep in a saucepan and leave to boil, not afraid to digest. It is the boiled potatoes in the soup that are most delicious.
When the potatoes are ready, it is time to fill the wheat grits. We wash it and send it to the pan. Boil over low heat so that the soup doesn't get muddied.
It remains to cook the fry. To do this, put on a preheated pan a piece of butter.
Fry onions in oil to transparency and aroma.
Chop carrots with a knife.
Grind it on a coarse grater.
Fry with onions. The carrot should soften and its color become less bright. As ready zazharku send in the soup.
Salt the broth and flavor it with spices.
Crush greens, but do not put it in the pan, but serve to the soup in a separate vessel.
Can be done differently. Salt, spices, garlic and herbs rub in a mortar with a piece of bacon and fill the soup with this before removing it from the heat. This dish will be whiter aromatic.
