👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add diced tomatoes, coriander powder, cumin powder, and turmeric powder. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes start to break down.
5
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until beef is tender.
6
Add the cut okra to the stew. Stir well, cover, and continue to cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until okra is tender and the stew has thickened.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

💡 전문가 팁

✓To reduce the sliminess of okra, you can blanch it in boiling water for 2 minutes before adding it to the stew, or add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar towards the end of cooking.
✓Ensure the beef is tender before adding the okra, as okra cooks relatively quickly.
✓For a richer flavor, you can sear the beef in batches to ensure a good crust.
