Instructions
- Mix the grated ginger with lots of salt and malt vinegar. Rub this all over the beef and marinate for 24 hours for best results (or cook straight away).
- In a pot, heat olive oil. Drop in all the whole spices and chillies and let them fry.
- Add the beef and brown it on all sides over a low fire.
- Add the diced tomatoes and the juice from the marinade bowl.
- Let the tomatoes break down completely.
- Add enough water to cover the beef. Bring to a boil, lower the gas, and let it slow cook — turning the beef every now and then.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it and dry/reduce the gravy until it's the right amount.
- Slice the beef and drop the slices into the gravy; let it simmer.
- Enjoy with fried sliced potatoes and caramelised onions.
