I lived in Kenya for 5 years, apart from learning Swahili, i learned how to make lot’s of Kenyan dishes.
Today my son requested Kenyan meal(he loves It), that is beef stew, sukuma wiki ,ugali and kachumbari ,so i am making it.
This post is for beef stew, sukuma wiki will be in another post.
I would recommend using tougher types meat for this recipe.
This recipe is a bit “generous” as kenyan ladies use minimum of tomatoes, ginger and garlic.
The taste of Kenyan stew is very different to curries and all other meat/sauce type dishes. I actually really like it myself, the combination of beef/greens/ugali it’s quite extraordinary. Ok, let’s get to it.
Ingredients:
Beef- 1 kg beef cut in to 2*2 cm cubes
Onion- 1 large diced
Tomatoes- 3 medium diced
Ginger- 2 inch, grated
Garlic- 5 cloves, grated
Curry powder- 1.5 table spoons
Tomato paste- 3 table spoons
Water- 3 cups
Oil
Salt, pepper to taste.
Fresh coriander for serving.
Directions:
Boil meat with ginger, garlic and water i a pan for 30 minuets.
Heat the oil in a pan, add onions and cook till start getting browned, add tomatoes, stir, cook till tomatoes are soft. Add curry powder, salt pepper, stir, add tomato paste, stir.
Drain beef ( reserve the liquid) and add to onion/tomato mixture and stir for 2 minuets or so.
Add beef liquid back, cover and cook for 30 minuets.
Serve with fresh coriander on top,sukuma wiki and ugali.
