Instructions
-
To a large pot add the beef, cover with water by about 3 inches and bring to a boil over high heat, then cook over medium-low heat for 2.5 hours, constantly skimming off impurities that float to the top with a slotted spoon.

-
While the meat is cooking, saute the onion in some oil over medium heat until evenly browned. Remove onion to a different bow.
-
After about 3.5 hours of cooking the meat should be very soft and fall apart easily, that's when you know that it is ready to be removed. At this point, remove the meat from the liquid to a separate bowl. Pass the liquid through a sieve and discard all the solids. Reserve about 1 1/2 cups liquid and use the rest as the base for a soup, or cool and freeze for future use as a soup or sauce base.

Any suggestions if cooking in an instant pot?
Sure thing! I would cook the beef for about 90 minutes, then do 15-20 minites natural pressure release and then follow the rest of the recipe.
Let me know if you have other questions!
Just got to making this–so so good!!! I love that you can boil the meat ahead of time and finish right before serving! Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback Zhenya!
how do you make the polenta?
I usually boil about 3 cups of salted water in a non stick pot, then add 1 cup of corn meal while whisking continuously. Then using a wooden spoon I continue stirring as it cooks and thickens. If you like it to be thick, so you can cut it with a knife, cook it with 3 cups water to 1.5 cups corn meal. Lately we’ve been enjoying it thinner, but it’s still not runny at all.
If you cook the thicker version, you can invert the cooked polenta onto a flat dish, but if you make it thinner you will need to serve it in a bowl.
We top ours with butter and some feta cheese 🙂
This sounds amazingggggggg!!!!!!!
