Cooking Instructions

Prepare beef

Season the washed and cut beef with Gino Peppe & Onion seasoning and a portion of the ginger and garlic blend.
Allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Steam the marinated beef until it is tender and fully cooked. Be sure to strain and keep the beef stock.

Prepare cocoyam

Peel and wash the cocoyam tubers, then cut them into chunks.
In a large pot, add the cocoyam chunks, tomatoes, onion, red pepper and momoni.
Add enough water to cover the ingredients and bring them to a boil.
Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cocoyam is halfway cooked.

Blend vegetables

Carefully remove the tomatoes, pepper, and onions from the pot and blend them to create a flavourful paste.
Pour the blended mixture into the pot.

Add beef stock

Pour in the reserved beef stock to add depth to the stew.
Season with salt, then stir well.

Fry beef:

In a separate pan, heat some palm oil over medium heat.
Lightly fry the cooked beef until it is golden brown.
Add the fried beef and the red oil to the stew.
Stir gently, allowing the flavours to combine properly.

Simmer and serve:

Let your Beef Mpotompoto simmer for a few more minutes until the cocoyam is fully cooked and the flavours meld together.
Serve hot to enjoy the rich blend of spices and tender beef.
