Stir the tomato sauce, beef stock, tomato paste, ground ginger, sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup of water into the pot. Bring to a boil; season with additional salt if needed.

Return the browned beef to the pot and add the frozen okra. Stir to combine.
đĄ Proffstips: Using frozen okra can help reduce sliminess. - 5
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the okra is tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Add additional beef stock or water if the stew becomes too thick, as the okra will thicken it.

- âFor a less slimy okra, ensure it's cooked thoroughly at a higher heat initially, or use frozen okra.
- âAdjust the sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
- âIf you prefer a spicier stew, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped chili pepper with the onions.
