Season 1.5 kg of stewing steak cut into 1.5 cm cubes with salt and ground black pepper .
Heat 2 tbs of rice bran oil in a large saucepan over a medium / heat add the beef and brown it on all sides .
Transfer the beef to a plate .
Add 3 large onions , thickly sliced to the saucepan and saute till lightly browned .
Add 1 dsp of castor sugar and stir through .
Return the beef to the saucepan with the onions and now add 375 ml of lager beer (or whatever your favourite flavour )
Add 1 and 1/2 cups of beef stock, 1 dsp of dried thyme.
Bring this mixture to the boil , reduce the heat to a simmer , cover and simmer for 1 and 1/2 hours or till the beef is tender .
Add 8 medium sized carrots cut into chunks .
Add 500 gm of endame beans , cover and simmer until vegetables are tender .
Remove the cover and bring the liquid to a boil over a moderate heat .
Add 1 cup of black chia seeds and 1/2 cup of teff seeds ....
Stir through and continue to simmer till the sauce thickens ..
And now for the secret to the success of this dish ........
Add 2 tbs of white wine vinegar ......
FOOTNOTE ....
Not one of my offspring will read this recipe because the word stew is involved .
Marc would eat it as long as there are no mushrooms or chilli.....and never reads my blog.
Shaun would consider a slow cooked meal but never a stew .
Paul believes slow cookers are obsolete , he got rid of his slow cooker !!!!
Nicole would be wincing at the word stew ......and never going to break through her take away chicken dinners
Dale would consider it.. if offered as a tagine .
You are probably thinking how could I say this about my adult children ......Well it's true and if the word stew is involved they won't read it ...!!
Ironic really !!!
