Preparation
Step 1
You can use not only beef but any other kind of meat. The beauty of this recipe is that even the toughest cuts become tender. I used beef shank with connective tissue, and it still turned out soft and juicy. Use cold butter for easier slicing, and warm, filtered or bottled water.
Step 2
Rinse the meat under running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut it into large chunks (about 2 inches / 5 cm thick) across the grain using a sharp knife. Peel and wash the onions, then slice them into half-rings. Cut the cold butter into cubes. Place the beef pieces into the multicooker bowl, add the sliced onions on top, and scatter the butter cubes over everything.
Step 3
Pour some warm water into the multicooker bowl - not too much, just enough to lightly cover the meat. Close the lid and set the “Stew” mode for 1 hour. Cook without opening the lid. The meat will release some of its own juices, so don’t add too much water.
Step 4
Peel and finely chop the garlic. After an hour of stewing, open the lid, add the chopped garlic, a little salt, sugar, and vinegar. Stir well, then cook for another 1 hour in “Stew” mode. Cooking time may vary depending on your appliance, so adjust as needed.
Step 5
The finished meat will be soft, juicy, and tender, easily separating into fibers. It tastes like homemade canned stew - rich, buttery, and flavorful. Serve beef hot with any side dish: pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables. I served it with mashed potatoes - it disappeared instantly! This dish is also suitable for children. Enjoy!
