Directions
- The dill is harvested, and the stems are not discarded. ≈ 3 min
- The beef is cut into cubes approximately 5 cm in size and then seared. ≈ 3 min
- However, it is important to avoid the formation of a dark crust. ≈ 3 min
- Next, 1/4 of the meat and the onions, which are very finely chopped, are cooked separately. The onions are used to deglaze the pan.
- The remaining finely chopped vegetables are also cooked. ≈ 3 min
- Everything is then added to a large pot with the bones, dill stems, cumin, marjoram, and thyme, and then poured with cold water and cooked over low heat for about 1 hour.
- The meat is removed, cut into small pieces (about 1-2 cm in size), and set aside. ≈ 3 min
- The resulting broth is mixed and filtered through a fine sieve.
- We also add white onions and red beets, and let it simmer with the meat for at least 30 minutes over very low heat.
- This cooking time can also be extended without any problems, up to 2 hours.
- Finally, we add the chopped dill and cream/yogurt. ≈ 3 min
