👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Profitipps: Allow beef to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking for even browning. - 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.

Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes.
💡 Profitipps: Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits from the beef. - 4
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 5
Add the crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, and dried thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine.
- 6
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
💡 Profitipps: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. - 8
Add the rinsed sorghum (Mabele) and diced carrots to the stew. Stir well.

Continue to simmer, covered, for another 45-60 minutes, or until the sorghum is cooked through and tender, and the stew has thickened to your desired consistency.
💡 Profitipps: If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more beef broth or water. - 10
Remove the bay leaves. Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste before serving hot.
