Dairy-Free Pap and Vleis Breakfast Bowl

Ingredients

• 2 cups Maize Meal (Mealie Meal)
• 6 cups Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 lb Beef Stewing Meat
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Curry Powder
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Milk (Almond or Oat)

Instructions

1. 1In a large pot, bring the 6 cups of Water to a rolling boil over high heat (212°F / 100°C).
2. 2Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of Maize Meal and 1 tsp of Salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. The pap is ready when it is thick and creamy. Stir in the 1/2 cup of Dairy-Free Milk until fully combined.
3. 3While the pap is simmering, prepare the vleis. Heat the 2 tbsp of Vegetable Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (375°F / 190°C). Add the 1 lb of Beef Stewing Meat and brown it on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat from the pot with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a plate.
4. 4Add the chopped 1 medium Onion to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped 2 medium Tomatoes and the minced 2 cloves Garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
5. 5Return the browned beef to the pot. Sprinkle in the 2 tbsp of Curry Powder and stir to coat the meat and vegetables. Add enough additional water to just cover the meat, about 2-3 cups. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat (212°F / 100°C), then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
6. 6To serve, spoon the prepared pap into individual bowls. Top generously with the tender curried vleis from the pot.
