Directions

  1. Using a knife, you pierce the meat on both sides; this ensures that the meat is thoroughly infused with flavor. ≈ 3 min
  2. We pour the oil paint into the container where the meat will be placed. ≈ 3 min
  3. Next, we add the onion in quarters, the carrots in slices, the bay leaves, and the peppercorns. ≈ 3 min
  4. The meat is then placed on top, water is added, and the mixture is cooked over low heat to allow the meat to fully absorb the flavors.
  5. If the meat is not tender enough, I add hot water gradually as the liquid evaporates. ≈ 3 min
