This lent season is probably not the best time to put up beef recipes on my blog but I promise I would have some lent inspired recipes up soon for you guys. Hope your valentines day/weekend was amazing. Which of my dishes did you make? Here is a simple recipe that you can service with white rice or any carbohydrate of your choice. Personally, I feel it goes better with rice. You can also substitute the beef with chicken, shrimp or any other protein. Enjoy!

Ingredients

10 Medium pieces of Beef
1 cup of coconut milk
2 Tablespoons of Curry
1 bulb of onion
5 Scotch Bonnet peppers (Moderate for your spice level)
2.5 Tablespoons of salt
4 cubes of Maggi cube
2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of thyme
A handful of cherry tomatoes
A handful of raisins
A handful of roasted peanuts

Method

*Wash beef, season with 1 Tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper, ½ bulb of onion, 2 cubes of Maggi and 2 scotch bonnet peppers.

*Bring to boil till beef is soft. If there is any stock left, keep aside as this would be used in the sauce.

* Pour in the coconut milk into a pot add the salt, Maggi cube, cayenne pepper, onion slices, scotch bonnet peppers, curry and thyme and bring to boil over medium heat.

*Pour in the beef stock and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

*Pour in the beef in the sauce and add the cherry tomatoes, peanuts and raisins. Stir and allow the sauce to simmer for another 2 minutes.
