History of Ostri
Ostri, so-called “Salianka”, is a traditional Tbilisian dish. Its name comes from a Russian meal called “сорнa солнка”, however except for beef, it has nothing in common with Ostri. It’s closer to Beef Stroganoff with this recipe.

Preparation
Slice the beef into cubes, place them in the saucepan, and drizzle with oil; in a separate pan, melt a little butter and cook the minced onion and green pepper together; when the mixture begins to brown, continuously pour the beef broth. Before the meat is nearly done,
