Pumpkin stew with braised beef

First, I diced the beef. I fried two onions in oil until translucent and added the meat. I let it cook well, added salt, ground black pepper, ground caraway, and ground red pepper, and poured in about 3 dl of water. I left it to simmer covered. Occasionally I added water, we like a lot of juice. It thickens beautifully, so there is no need to thicken it with anything.

While the meat was stewing until tender, I cleaned a large pumpkin and grated it on a coarse grater. I sautéed it in a little oil, salted it, poured over milk, and added 2 bay leaves.

After boiling like this for about 15 minutes, I added a handful of chopped dill, sugar to taste, and a cream for cooking. After bad experiences with curdling, I add vinegar or lemon juice only after removing from the heat. We serve with dumplings, or boiled potatoes. Bon appétit 😋
