A meat plov with sweet and sour notes from dried fruit: dried apricots and raisins make the flavor soft and festive. Great for a family lunch.

Method

Rinse the dried apricots and raisins with warm water and squeeze them out lightly. Cut the beef into pieces, the carrots into strips and the onion into thin half rings. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
Heat the oil in a kazan and fry the beef over high heat for 8–10 minutes, until browned, adding salt at the end.
Add the onion and carrots, cook for 7–8 minutes over medium heat, then pour in 200 ml of hot water and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
Add the dried apricots and raisins, spread the rice over them in an even layer, then add cumin and salt.
Pour in hot water so that it covers the rice by 1.5–2 cm and place a head of garlic in the center. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 20–25 minutes.
Turn off the heat and leave the plov covered for 10 minutes, then stir gently.
