Kirghiz Baked Beef recipe
Ingredients:
2 lb Flank steak, Chopped 1/2" Or you can have your butcher dice it.
1 Lg. Onion, Chopped
1 Med. Green or Red Pepper, Chopped
2 TBl * Sunflower Oil (enough to cook onion, pepper & meat)
1 c Yogurt (Plain)
2 Large Eggs
2 Apples Diced
1 c Chopped Dried Apricots (about 5oz)
1/2 c Raisins (about 2.5oz)
1/2 c Prunes dried, pitted & chopped (about 2.5oz)
2 TBl Curry Powder or more to taste
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Pepper
*You can use Olive oil, but it does change the flavor.
Method:
Sautee onion & green pepper in olive oil in lg. heavy skillet until onion is transparent.
Add chopped beef and brown lightly.
!Remove from heat!
Pour off all drippings. (This is important!)
I used a screen strainer. You can reserve the drippings to make gravy.
Add apple, apricots, raisins yogurt, eggs & mix well.
Add curry powder, salt and pepper.
Place in a large, deep casserole & bake in a 350 degree F. for 45 minutes.
This will take a very large skillet.
I used a stockpot to allow for vigorous mixing.
It yielded two 9 x 9 square glass casserole pans a little over half full.
