Number Of Ingredients 14

⅔ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound beef top sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 (10 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (10 ounce) package frozen okra, thawed
2 cups water
1 ½ tablespoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt over steak cubes; cook and stir meat in the hot oil with onion and garlic until meat is seared, about 5 minutes; reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until meat is browned, about 3 more minutes. Remove steak pieces and set aside.
