Description of the cooking process:
Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Peel the carrots and grate coarsely. Saute the vegetables in vegetable oil and transfer to a separate container and set aside for a while.
Rinse the beef and dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, cut a whole piece of meat into wide slices, beat them lightly with a wooden mallet, and then carefully cut into thin strips. Fry them in the same oil that the vegetables were sauteed, not forgetting to sprinkle with salt and black pepper at the beginning of frying.
Add sauteed carrots and onions to the fried beef, and if necessary, a little more salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat and vegetables over low heat until fully cooked.
Advice: The liquid released from the meat and vegetables will allow them to stew in their own juices for the first time, but then you will still need to gradually add boiling water or broth to the pan.
While the beef and vegetables are stewing, rinse the millet under running water and mix it with peeled and cut into small pieces potatoes. Pour 2.5 cups of hot water or broth over the cereal, bring to a boil, add salt and cook under a closed lid until all liquid has completely evaporated.
