METHOD
1. Prepare the Beef:
Cut the beef sirloin into cubes.
In a stewpot over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the beef cubes and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Slow-Cooking Bliss:
Add enough water to just cover the beef cubes.
Create a herb and spice bag by placing thyme, dill, parsley, peppercorns, garlic, and dried chili peppers in a teabag or another suitable bag for cooking. Close the bag and add it to the pot.
Cover with a lid and sauté over low heat for 1.5 hours.
3. Potatoes Join the Party:
Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into cubes.
Add the potatoes to the pot after 1.5 hours and let them simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
Remove the herb and spice bag and add salt to taste.
4. Vegetable Medley:
Wash, peel, and dice the celeriac. Add to the pot.
Preheat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a pan.
Fry the diced bell pepper in the pan over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add it to the pot.
Peel and cut the champignons, adding them to the pot.
Peel and wash the onion and carrot, dice them. Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the pan, fry the onion and carrot until golden, and then add them to the pot.
5. Final Simmer:
Let everything simmer over low heat in a closed pot for an additional 20 minutes.
6. Serve and Garnish:
Transfer the stew to a plate and garnish with chopped chives, chili flakes, and sour cream if desired.
