Directions

Quick version

  1. Heat the butter in a pan over medium-high heat until it’s melted and shimmering.
  2. Once it’s cooked to your liking, place it on a warm plate and season it with salt and pepper, if desired. ≈ 2 min
  3. First, brown the bell pepper in the juice, then add the onion, leek, and tomatoes, working quickly. Push the vegetables to one side, pour in the vodka, and let the alcohol evaporate. Finally, add the pot of sour cream and heat through.
  4. Serve the sauce with the meat, alongside sautéed potatoes, French fries, or rice, and a vegetable.

Traditional version

  1. Let the meat sit at room temperature and then cut it into small pieces. Season with flour, salt, and pepper. ≈ 8 min
  2. Prepare a roux with a little butter and 1 tablespoon of flour. Whisk in the broth and bring to a boil. Add the Jamaican mustard and hot pepper, then the sour cream and acidified tomato paste. Simmer again.
  3. Quickly brown the beef with butter and onion. Add the beef to the sauce and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat. Serve.
