Ingredients

  • 1 pound of carrots.
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 4 to 5 medium yellow or white onions
  • One to one-and-a half pounds of beef
  • Rice (not Minute rice, it is too dry)
  • Salt
  • Vegetable oil

Directions

1

Chop the onions, fairly small (but not minced).

2

Cut the carrots into slivers.

3

The slivers should be about 3 inches long and only 1/8 of an inch wide.

4

Cut the meat into 1 to 2-inch cubes.

5

Find a big, heavy pan/pot. Turkmen use a heavy pot called a cazan.

6

Now, you must heat the oil in the pot.

7

The amount of oil you use will depend upon the size of the pan you use.

8

But it is recommend that the oil be about 1 centimeter.

9

Drop one little piece of your chopped onion in the oil, and turn on the burner to medium.

10

When the onion turns black, remove it with a fork.

11

Add the meat and the whole garlic cloves.

12

Cook the meat & garlic until the meat starts to turn a nice "roasted"-looking brown, stirring occasionally.

13

Add the onions to the meat and oil.

14

Cook 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

15

Add the carrots to the mixture and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.

16

Add a couple teaspoons of salt (or you can add the salt later, to taste).
