BEEF PREPARATION
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 ¼ pounds Beef

- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- ½ Green bell pepper cut into strips

Instructions
FOR THE MUKIMO:
- Place peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until halfway tender.
- Add the peas and corn to the pot with the potatoes. Continue boiling until everything is fork-tender. You can also cook the vegetables separately if preferred.
- Drain the mixture, reserving a little of the cooking water. Return to the pot, add the butter, and mash until smooth. Add a splash of the reserved water as needed to reach your desired texture.
- Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
FOR THE BEEF:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, crushed garlic, and ground ginger. Cook over medium heat until fragrant and the onions are soft.
- Stir in tomato paste and soy sauce. Season with black pepper and chili flakes to taste.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and stir to coat. Let it cook for a few minutes, then add the sliced bell peppers.
- Pour in the beef broth. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 20–25 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
To Serve
- Spoon the warm Mukimo onto plates and top with a generous serving of beef and peppers. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
Soy sauce and spices tend to have salt in them, so be careful not to oversalt it.
