Old-fashioned Steak with Samp and Beans, perfect South African comfort food

I haven’t had samp and beans in eons and even with a pressure cooker am still skeptical of trying to make it the old-fashioned way, so when I saw the canned variety I thought well I’d give it a try. I made a delicious spicy Rump Steak Samp and Bean stew. A very hearty meal indeed and nothing was left for my lunch today. Very inconsiderate of them.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg rump steak
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 Tblsp olive oil
  • 2 Tblsp coconut oil/ghee/olive oil
  • 1 tomato, blanched in boiling water, peeled and diced
  • 2 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 4 chilies, sliced
  • 1 Tblsp tomato paste
  • 2 cans samp and beans in curry sauce
  • 1 cup beef stock (or any stock)
  • 4 potatoes, quartered
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp dhania/jeera powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 Tblsp Moroccan spice
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 1 Tblsp sugar
  • 1 tsp Aroma mix
  • Sprigs of curry leaves and thyme leaves
