👨🍳 Ohjeet

Heat red palm oil in a large, wide frying pan over medium heat. Add half of the beef cubes and brown on both sides. Remove to a plate and brown the second batch of meat. Remove again.

Sauté the sliced onions in the same pan until softened and colored. If needed, add another tablespoon of oil.
- 3
Add the chopped garlic, minced ginger, and minced hot peppers. Sauté for a few more minutes.

Add the beef bullion cubes, water, canned tomato sauce, Gbotemi spice, and salt. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 3 hours, or until the meat is absolutely tender when pierced with a fork. Check every so often and add a bit more water if needed. Remove the cover during the last half hour of cooking if the stew is too soupy.

While the stew is simmering, prepare the spinach. Remove the root end of the spinach and wash well. Place the spinach in a large pot with clinging water, cover, and steam for 5-10 minutes until wilted. Drain, let cool, and coarsely chop.

When the stew is ready, taste for seasoning and add the chopped spinach. Warm through for a minute or so.
