Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.

And this is how you make it:

  • First cut the meat into coarse blocks, sprinkle the three level tablespoons of 5spices over it and some salt and pepper. Let it marinate for a while until use.
  • Peel the onions and cut them in half and then into half rings. Clean the beef tomatoes and cut them into cubes. Cut the red pepper into small rings.
  • Take a frying pan and add some wok oil. (This one is a bit spicier). Then brown the meat all over. Then add the onions and fry for 5 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, the chopped garlic cloves and a few rings of red pepper.
  • Add the star anise and bay leaves to the pan. Crumble the stock cube over it. Pour in enough lukewarm water to just cover the meat. Add the liquorice stick. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down, put the lid on the pan and let the beef stew simmer gently for at least 4 hours, or until the meat is buttery tender. Check occasionally to see if there is enough liquid in the pan and add a dash of warm water if necessary.
  • When after 4 hours of stewing the meat has become completely soft and your whole kitchen smells wonderfully of herbs, you cook the rice. Remove the licorice stick and bay leaves from the stew.
  • When the rice is cooked, scoop it into a bowl and then add the beef stew. Is the stew sauce too thin for your liking? Make a paste of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this into the hot stew and let it simmer gently for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Garnish the dish with some sliced ​​spring onion and red pepper rings and kroepoek.
  • Delicious bites!
