Azu with beef is a traditional dish of Tatar cuisine, impressing with its rich flavor and tender texture. Its roots go back centuries when nomadic peoples created nutritious and aromatic dishes from available ingredients. Stewed beef with onions, potatoes, and pickles acquires a special slightly spicy taste thanks to tomato paste and garlic. This dish warms and nourishes wonderfully, making it an ideal option for a family dinner. Azu is usually served with fresh herbs and bread that highlight its rich flavor bouquet. The excellent combination of spices makes azu indispensable in cold weather, while its soft consistency makes you return to this recipe again and again.
