About the dish

Sīpolu sitenis is a traditional meat dish originating from Latvia. The dish is usually made with a combination of beef, onions, salt, sour cream, flour, butter, and oil. The beef is cut into slices, seasoned with salt, and fried in oil on both sides until nicely browned. The meat is removed from the pan and the onions are cut into slices and fried in the same fat. The onion rings are placed on top of the meat. A sauce is made in the same pan by adding flour, butter, water, and sour cream. The sauce is poured over the meat and onions, and the dish is then usually served with boiled potatoes on the side.
