Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1 lb Collard greens, chopped
  • 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Add the 1 pound of beef stew meat, cubed, and brown it on all sides until it has a nice crust, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. 2Add the 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pot with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and looks translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3Add the 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and the 2 medium tomatoes, diced, to the pot. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes, until the tomatoes start to break down.
  4. 4Add the 1 pound of collard greens, chopped, and the 1 cup of vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender when poked with a fork.
  5. 5Stir in the 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and add a little more salt or pepper if you think it needs it.
  6. 6Serve the Sukuma Wiki hot.
