By Moushira Abdel-Malek
Ingredients:
500 gms beef
500 gms baby onions (peeled)
1 large onion (finely chopped)
1 tbsp crushed garlic
3 large tomatoes (diced)
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 cups beef stock
Oil + butter
Salt + pepper + allspice + nutmeg (grated)
Method:
Add some oil to a frying pan and fry the beef cubes until brownish in colour. In a cooking pan, add a mixture of oil and butter. Stir fry the chopped onion, the garlic until yellowish, and add the tomato pieces and paste. Season, cover and leave to cook over low heat. In the meantime, add some oil to another frying pan and stir fry the baby onions until golden browned. Remove from the oil and leave aside. Remove the beef from the oil and add to the tomato sauce. Allow to cook for 15 minutes. Add the fried onions to the pan, stir to combine, then add the stock and leave to cook until the meat is tender and the sauce reduced. Serve with boiled potatoes or rice and a green salad.
