Cooking Instructions for making Beef Stew,Fried Potatoes and Tomato Onion Salad(Kachumbari)
Prepare two separate pans
Pan 1: put a good amount of oil into the pan. When hot place the beef cubes to fry without turning for a minutes until there is some browning. When all meat is brown, remove from heat onto a side bowl.
On the same pan/pot, place 1 cut onion and garlic. Before garlic can burn add pepper, cougette and carrot. Fry for a minute then add the beef.
Mix and keep turning for a minute then add 1 tablespoon Royco and 1 cup water for some thickness. Let it to boil for 2 minutes then remove from heat.
Boil potatoes until half cooked. On the second pan(it has to be wide like in the picture) fry the onions with a good amount of oil (my onions are cut round like the potatoes for uniformity) until golden brown.
Add the half cooked potatoes and season with salt. Use a spatula to turn, we do not want to break the potatoes.
Reduce heat to low and cook covered to 5 minutes. Keep checking for the potatoes not to stick. Check when ready, remove from heat and sprinkle dhania leaves on top for garnish.
I served the dish with spicy kachumbari (A mix of onion, tomatoes, dhania, salt and a drizzle of lemon juice) You can as well serve with vegetables or salad of choice.
