Egyptian Bamia Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium sized heavy saucepan over medium heat.
• Sauté onions for 2 minutes.
• Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
• Stir in all the remaining ingredients except the okra.
• Bring the mixture to a hard simmer and cook for 5 minutes-stirring often.
• Trim the okra and slice into 1/2 inch rounds and stir in.
• Simmer for 10 minutes-serve hot over rice.

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.
• Stir tomato sauce and tomato paste into same pot; mix in okra, water, coriander, white pepper, and cumin. Bring to a boil; season with additional salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer until okra is tender, 30 to 45 minutes; return pieces of beef to the bamia. Simmer until flavors are blended, about 10 minutes; garnish with slices of jalapeno pepper.
