Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound beef stew meat
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 medium fresh tomatoes
• 1 pound okra
• 2 medium sweet potato
• 4 cups beef broth
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper. Add it to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes until they start to break down.

Step 5

Slice the okra into 1/2-inch pieces and peel and cube the sweet potatoes.

Step 6

Return the beef to the pot along with the sliced okra, chopped sweet potatoes, and beef broth.

Step 7

Stir in the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef and sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
