Kenyan Sukuma Wiki with Beef

Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef stew meat
• 1 bunch Collard greens
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Tomato
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (sunflower or canola)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. 1Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (350°F / 175°C).
2. 2Add 1 lb of beef stew meat to the hot oil and brown it on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the browned beef from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
3. 3Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic to the same pot. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. 4Add 2 chopped medium tomatoes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down.
5. 5Return the 1 lb of browned beef to the pot. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth, then add 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (if using). Stir everything together. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
6. 6While the beef is simmering, wash and chop 1 bunch of collard greens into bite-sized pieces. After the beef has simmered for 30 minutes, add the chopped collard greens to the pot. Stir them into the beef and broth mixture. Cover the pot and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the collard greens are wilted and tender.
7. 7Serve the Sukuma Wiki with Beef hot. It is excellent served with ugali or rice.
