👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and sear on all sides until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onions to the same pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes (or crushed tomatoes) and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
- 4
Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the cinnamon stick, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour in 4 cups of water or beef broth, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer.
- 5
After 1 hour, check the beef for tenderness. If it's not yet tender, continue simmering. Add the okra to the pot. If the stew seems too thick, add the remaining cup of water or broth.
- 6
Continue to simmer, covered, until the okra is tender and the beef is very tender, about another 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving.
- 7
Garnish with fresh chopped dill and serve hot with rice, Kisra, or other preferred flatbread.
