Now you should put the pan on the fire and add vegetable oil to it. The meat should be fried on all sides over high heat. And then the dish will be cooked in a slow cooker. If desired, frying can be carried out immediately in a slow cooker or stew meat on the stove in a saucepan with a thick bottom.

The meat will release juices while frying. The meat with juice and oil should be moved to the multicooker bowl (or to the pan). Now you need to peel the carrots, wash them under running water and cut into strips. Now you should prepare the bow. To do this, it is peeled, washed under running water and cut into feathers. Garlic also needs to be peeled and washed, passed through a press. It remains to prepare the tomatoes, which need to be washed under running water and grated.

How to cook beef in sweet and sour sauce: so, I take about 800 grams of good beef pulp and wash it thoroughly. I do not remove small cartilages and films, as they pass into the sauce during the stewing process under the influence of high temperatures, making it more rich, thick and appetizing.

Then I cut the meat like for goulash, that is, into pieces about half the size of a matchbox.

I put the meat in a pot, pour half a cup of boiling water and a quarter cup of vegetable oil into it. Now let the meat stew. Water should not reach higher than the middle of the meat, otherwise it will not be stewed, but boiled. If necessary, you can add water during the extinguishing process.

As soon as the meat is put on the fire, I take 2 slices of black bread, cut off the crusts.

I put the crustless bread in a bowl and soak it in hot water, let the bread soften for now.

Then peel and chop 1 large onion.

Sometimes I sauté it over low heat until it's golden brown for a richer flavor, but for a milder version of the dish, you can leave it out.

I peel and crush the garlic.

40 minutes after the start of stewing, add the onion to the meat. In the process of stewing, it will almost completely go into the sauce, improving its taste. I also put 2 crushed cloves of garlic in the pan with meat. All the time I make sure that the water does not completely boil away (otherwise the meat will burn), and, as necessary, I add it.

This sauce is made like this: I put half a teaspoon of flour (or starch) in a small bowl, pour half a glass of water into it and mix everything thoroughly. I put there 1 tablespoon of tomato puree, 1-2 tablespoons of 3.5% vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of mustard, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.

I add salt, pepper and ground spices. The sauce should have a piquant, but at the same time not a sharp taste, the “zest” of which lies precisely in the combination of sour and sweet flavors.
