Ingredients:

600g beef, cubed
3 tbsp oil
2 onions, chopped
2 tbsp tomato purée
6 dried chilies, crushed in a mortar
12 okra
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Heat the oil in a flame-proof casserole. Add the beef pieces and fry until nicely browned all over. Add the onions and continue frying for about 6 minutes, or until lightly coloured.

Stir in the tomato purée and the dried chillies. Season to taste then pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 90 minutes, or until the meat is tender.

Wash the okra, cut into thin slices and remove the seeds. Add these to the meat mixture, bring back to a simmer, cover and cook for a further 30 minutes.

Serve hot with white rice or boiled cassava.
