👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
3
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
8
Add the rinsed sorghum (Mabele) and diced carrots to the stew. Stir well.
9
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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.

✓Ensure the sorghum is thoroughly rinsed to remove any dust or debris.
✓This stew can be made ahead of time; the flavors often meld and improve overnight.
