Wash and peel raw vegetables. Heat a frying pan by adding a small amount of vegetable oil. Sterilize jars in advance in a convenient way.
Place the pan over low heat with water and beef. Add bay leaf, salt and pepper. When the water begins to boil, adjust the flame so that the water is slightly bubbling and cook with the lid half-closed for 50 minutes.
Chop the vegetables into thin strips or grate them on a coarse grater. Fry the onions and carrots until half cooked, add the potatoes and garlic to them, reduce the heat and keep under the lid closed until ready.
Transfer the fried vegetables to another container. Take the frying pan with beets, add sugar and vinegar to it. Fry for a couple of minutes, stirring. Then return the saute to the pan and stir everything.
Remove the beef and shred it, discarding the bone.
Add the meat to the sauté, place the preparation in pre-sterilized jars and close with sterilized lids. Turn the jars over and cover with a blanket or towel until completely cool.
