Answer 1

I agree with the first poster, but you also should buy some bay leaves....that will make any stew perfect!

Answer 2

salt pepper grlic onion dash of vinegar, keep it simple

next time get some cumin. delicious!

Answer 3

serve with the veggies listed, serve cabbage separately.

Rosemary, thyme and paprika and pepper should be fine. add either soy sauce, oyster sauce, or stock cubes  to improve the stock but be careful, they are very salty

Simple is best!

Answer 4

I would just make a curry to put over rice (if you have basmatti that would be the best for curry as Im sure you know)...

Saute onion ginger and garlic till golden and add cuury, coriander, fenugreek, and a pinch of anise (I would do it with clove, cinnimon, cumin and black mustard seed etc if you had em, but this will still be good), but use mostly curry.

Then add cubed beef and broth (with stock tabs if you want) and please say you have black pepper... otherwise just add bay or two.

cover and let simmer for a couple hours till the meat is tender, then add veggies and let cook down for additional 20 min.



Season with salt and serve over rice... YUM!!!
