Zharkoe (Russian Beef and Potato Stew)

Zharkoe is a Russian stew of braised beef and potatoes in a thick gravy. The meat is browned first, then slowly simmered with onion and carrot until tender, and the potatoes go in only near the end. A spoonful of sour cream and fresh dill soften the gravy — hearty home cooking, best of all from a clay pot.
