Ingredients

 * 1 pound of carrots.
 * 1 head of garlic
 * 4 to 5 medium yellow or white onions
 * One to one-and-a half pounds of beef
 * Rice (not Minute rice--too dry)
 * Salt
 * Vegetable oil

Directions
Cut the carrots into slivers. The slivers should be about 3 inches long and only 1/8 of an inch wide. Cut the meat into 1 to 2-inch cubes. Find a big, heavy pan/pot. Turkmen use a heavy pot called a cazan. nice "roasted"-looking brown, stirring occasionally.
 * 1) Chop the onions, fairly small (but not minced).
 * Now, you must heat the oil in the pot. The amount of oil you use will depend upon the size of the pan you use. But I recommend that the oil be about 1 centimeter. Drop one little piece of your chopped onion in the oil, and turn on the burner to medium. When the onion turns black, remove it with a fork.
 * 1) Add the meat and the whole garlic cloves. Cook the meat & garlic until the meat starts to turn a
 * 1) Add the onions to the meat and oil. Cook 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the carrots to the mixture and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Add a couple teaspoons of salt (or you can add the salt later, to taste).
