👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a tava pan.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
  2. 2
    Add the beef cubes and fry 5–7 minutes, until browned on all sides.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the onion and fry 3 minutes.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
  4. 4
    Add the garlic, cumin, turmeric, paprika, chili pepper, ras el hanout, salt and black pepper and stir.
  5. 5
    Add the green pepper and tomatoes and bring to a boil.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Turn down the heat and simmer 5 minutes.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle the cilantro on top.
  8. 8
    Serve the stew with pita, straight from the pan.
