Stewed beef with vegetables
4 servings
30 minutes
Braised beef with vegetables is one of the coziest and heartwarming dishes of Georgian cuisine. Its delightful taste lies in the combination of juicy meat, aromatic vegetables, and rich broth. The beef is slowly simmered to achieve tenderness and a deep flavor that permeates each serving. Potatoes, carrots, and celery complement the meat with their tenderness and slight sweetness, creating a harmonious balance. This dish not only pleases the palate but also provides a sense of home warmth. In Georgia, it is often prepared for family dinners and served with fragrant bread or a glass of red wine. The tradition of braising meat dates back to ancient times when it was cooked in clay pots over an open fire. Today it remains a favorite choice for cozy evenings.
