1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beef pate at home? Prepare the necessary ingredients. It is better to take young carrots, as they are juicier. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it comes to room temperature. Wash the beef pulp, dry with paper towels and cut into medium-sized pieces.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a frying pan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil and 50 grams of butter - vegetable oil is added so that the butter does not burn. Read about how to choose the perfect frying pan, as well as how to choose the right vegetable oil, in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe. Place the meat in the frying pan and fry it over high heat on both sides until golden brown. This is approximately 5 minutes on each side.

   Pour hot water into the meat, bring it to a boil, cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer the meat for about an hour until fully cooked.
