Technique to learn

Low and Slow Braising

Searing meat at high heat then gently simmering it covered in liquid to dissolve tough collagen into tender meat.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Season beef cubes with salt and sear in batches until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
Step 3: Add chopped onion to the pot and cook for 4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4: Stir in minced ginger, garlic, and whole cloves, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Add diced tomatoes and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Step 6: Return beef to the pot, pour in beef broth, and bring to a simmer.

Step 7: Cover, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 40 minutes until beef is tender.

Cooking tips

Keep cloves whole so they can be easily scooped out before serving if preferred.
Serve over hot steamed jasmine rice or mashed cassava to soak up the spiced pan gravy.
