Beef ribs stewed with onions and apples is a classic dish of Russian cuisine, filled with depth of flavor and cozy home warmth. The tradition of stewing meat with fruits dates back to ancient times when apples were used to add tenderness and a subtle tartness to the meat. Juicy ribs slowly simmered in aromatic onion sauce become incredibly tender, while the added apples give them a sweet-and-sour note that harmonizes with the rich meat flavor. Butter makes the dish's texture velvety, and spices fully reveal its aroma. This treat is perfect for a family lunch or festive feast, especially in cold weather when something hearty and warming is desired.
