Beef with pumpkin in the oven

How to make beef with pumpkin in the oven?

1. Wash the pumpkin, peel it. Cut into large pieces.
2. Preheat a frying pan with vegetable oil, put pumpkin pieces in it, fry a little, stirring so that it turns out to be done evenly.
3. Pre-washed and slightly dried meat is also cut into large pieces. It is better if they are 2 times larger than pumpkin.
4. Put the pumpkin out of the pan into a large ceramic bowl, put the meat in its place in the pan. Fry the beef in the same oil until golden brown.
5. Put the meat to the pumpkin, add seasonings: coriander, paprika, ground black pepper, salt. Mix well.
6. Put the mixture in a baking dish, pour water, put rosemary on top.
7. Cover the mold with a lid or foil. Put it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees (turn on the oven about 10-20 minutes before cooking, so that it has time to heat up).
8. Bake the pumpkin with meat for an hour, then remove the lid (foil) and bake for another 15 minutes.

Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy your meal!

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

Beef can be replaced with any other type of meat that you like better. But keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the taste and calorie content of the dish will change. Pork and lamb tend to be fatter than beef, and chicken fillet or turkey are leaner. At the same time, the cooking time depends not only on the type of meat, but also on which part of the carcass is used and how old or young the meat is.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
