Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound beef stew meat
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 medium fresh tomatoes
- 1 pound okra
- 2 medium sweet potato
- 4 cups beef broth
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper. Add it to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes until they start to break down.
Slice the okra into 1/2-inch pieces and peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
Return the beef to the pot along with the sliced okra, chopped sweet potatoes, and beef broth.
Stir in the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef and sweet potatoes are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
