Fry the meat for approx. 5 minutes, turning it over. Cook in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-20 minutes.

Melt sugar while turning. Add orange juice and stock to 200 ml. Deglaze the carrots with it and steam in a closed pot for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
