Instructions:

    Step 1
  • Prepare the pasta dough by mixing the flour, egg, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Gradually add water to form a firm dough. Knead it for about 10 minutes, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Step 2
  • Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut it into squares or diamonds. These will be your pasta pieces.
  • Step 3
  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add salt. Add the pasta pieces and cook until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Step 4
  • In another pot, place the cubed meat and cover it with water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 40-50 minutes until the meat is tender. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
  • Step 5
  • If using potatoes, add them to the meat during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • Step 6
  • In a separate pan, sauté the finely chopped onion in vegetable oil until translucent.
  • Step 7
  • To serve, place a portion of pasta on a plate, top it with boiled meat (and potatoes if used), and garnish with sautéed onions. Serve hot and enjoy your Beshbarmak!
