What it is
Tushenka (tushyonaya govyadina) is the cornerstone tinned meat of the post-Soviet pantry: chunks of beef simmered with a little beef fat, salt, bay leaf and black pepper, then sealed hot in the tin so the meat cooks down into its own rich, jellied stock. Biovela, a long-established meat processor from Vilkaviskis in Lithuania, makes the small 240 g format that suits one or two suppers without leftovers.
Open the tin and the broth sets around the beef like soft aspic; warm it through and it melts back into gravy. Stir a tin into buckwheat or rice for grechka po-flotski, fold it through fried onions and potatoes, drop it into soldier-style soup with cabbage and dill, or pile it over mashed potato with a spoon of mustard on the side. It is also the classic dacha, fishing-trip and hiking ration: shelf-stable, fully cooked, and dinner-ready as soon as it hits a hot pan.
