In a separate bowl, whisk the sorghum or millet flour with about 1 cup of water until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. This will be used as a thickener.

Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the simmering stew. Stir continuously until the stew thickens to your desired consistency. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the flour is cooked through.

💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓For a deeper flavor, you can marinate the beef overnight.
- ✓If you don't have sorghum or millet flour, you can use a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water as a thickener, though it's less traditional.
- ✓Don't overcook the okra if using, as it can become mushy.
