Afghan-Style Braised Beef

In a deep bowl, combine the yogurt, vinegar, cloves, chopped carrots and crushed garlic. Stir to mix the ingredients well. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Cut the meat into pieces and place it in the bowl. Toss so that the meat is well coated in the thick mixture. Let it stand for no less than 90 minutes. After that, transfer everything to a deep pot with a lid, add a little oil, pour in boiling water almost to cover the pieces of meat, and braise, covered, over low heat for about 1 hour.
