Nigerian Beef Stew

Directions

1. 1
   Wash and Season the beef with 1/4 of the bulb of onion, salt, 1 seasoning cube and blended chilli flakes and boil till beef is soft. Reserve some of the stock from the beef as that would be great seasoning for the stew.
2. 2
   Wash and blend the tomatoes, scotch bonnet peppers and bell pepper and boil till the excess water dries up. ( To prevent your tomato boiling over, add a tablespoon of oil)
3. 3
   (You can choose to use fresh oil to fry the beef or use the same oil after frying for the stew)
4. 4
   Heat up your oil and fry the beef till brown. Take out of the oil and fry the rest of the onions (chopped).
5. 5
   Once the onions are translucent, pour in the boiled tomato/pepper mix and fry for about 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
6. 6
   Add the rest of the stock from the beef into the mix and also add the fried beef at this point, stir and cook for about 5 minutes still on medium heat.
7. 7
   Add your salt, seasoning cube, curry, thyme and cook for an extra 5 minutes. Serve with White rice, bread, plantain, Yam, Pasta or any other carbohydrate you like
