I wasn’t planning on posting this but changed my mind when one of the two guests (gentlemen) we served asked me for a written recipe. I was pleasantly surprised when our guests finished eating, asked after me and whispered that I please hand him the recipe for this sauce to take him. It really really tasted good. Cooking sauces for rice is what I do on sundays because I don’t like to spend even an hour in the kitchen cooking time consuming stews. I love to go in there, finish cooking in minutes and leave. Tomatoes stew take long top cook because the tomatoes has to be fried until it’s dry and all that.
I do not even fry till dry because my tomatoes is boiled before blending, yet it still takes longer to cook. Sauces cook in minutes ans taste five star cos that is what hubby said, that this sauce makes him feel like he is eating at Sheraton or Nicon Hilton and that made my head swell.
Ingredients For Shredded Beef Sauce with tomatoes
5 small Carrots (Optional)
5 Runner beans
3 leaves of cabbage
1 large Onion
Soya oil to stir fry the vegetables
1 large green pepper
3 tatashey (Red bell pepper)
3 seasoning cubes
salt to taste
2kg Shredded beef
water to cover the beef just a little
3 teaspoons tomato paste
Would have loved to add more tatashey (Red bell peppers) this is all I found in the fridge.
NOTE: You are free to thicken your shredded beef sauce with tomatoes to desired consistency by adding a little baking flour.
DIRECTION FOR MAKING SHREDDED BEEF SAUCE
Wash and shred the vegetables. This is Cooked with so much onion to give it the yummy taste I wanted.
Boil shredded beef with salt and onion. Cooked beef, boiled normally with salt, pepper and maggi or knorr seasoning cubes. The beef was shredded by me into very tiny flat pieces to cook faster and easy to scoop with rice. Feel free to buy already shredded beef from the supermarket
.
After beef pot begins to dry, you can add more water. Here More water is added to the cooked meat to make for stock enough for the large family, lol, if you have a small family, you might not need to add water.
.
Stir fry vegetables in a different pot. Here Chopped vegetables are being dtir fried to be added to the cooked beef. This lasts until the onion is translucent
.
You can add a little tomato paste to vegetables during stir fry. Stirring in the tomatoes is happening now.
Made this just now.wow.so lovely.added very little corn flour cuz twas watery.combined beef with chicken.eating it with fried plantain and basmati rice.thanks aunty eya
Taking a break now. I thought drastically reducing blogging time should appease, but, I was wrong. Irregular posting is not helping the blogs and I am tired of hiding to blog. My urm… family thinks I spend too much time blogging while I think I'm not even giving the blogs enough time and updates since after the baby. I don't want to fight o, I put family first but wish and pray for THAT support. See you later, when I can. I'm sorry. However and by the way, if you have anything else for me, other than blogging o, you can apply to me, your application might just be considered. In the meantime, I continue to baby sit my almost 2 year old baby.
Hi Eya sorry to hear about as I enjoy your blog so much. I quite understand. I am a lawyer and you don't want to know how many times my hubby wanted me to resign but now he is happy I stayed put because Naija economy no easy . Perhaps you have not been wise in the way you blog? Sorry to say this but I notice you said in your fashion blog that you were taking pics even though you are running late for church. I guess that meant Hubby was standing & watching you while you kept him waiting!!! Not too good Sis! African men are very jealous and when they speak the children copy them. Why not blog when your baby naps? Again he is 2 years old when will he start school. Nowadays Nigerian children start at 18months whether or not the mum is a stay at home mum. Plan what you want to blog on & blog for only one hour each day. Sometimes you run around and around saying the same thing over and over again in your post. If you plan what you want to say then you can go straight to the point. This is the gift you have don't let it die please that is how the men shout until God forbid something happens & you are high & dry! Believe me I have been there. Stay strong, pray about it adjust & be determined. You will overcome. You will not be the first to be asked to put aside a job she loves to face the family & you will not be the last. How you handle is is the koko!! Hugs!!
Hiya! We love and miss you. Maybe u'll be back this month when your baby starts sch (I'm assuming). You guys can get a housekeeper that comes in the morning and leaves by say 5. Sometimes even the best of us need all the help we can get. You are a super woman not Superwoman. Having a second blog on fashion isn't necessary, u can merge them into one but in diff categories. Be safe.
Have not visited this blog in a while, but then today, i was bored as to what to eat, then i remembered this blog, and i wasnt disappointed. Sharp sharp i know what to cook next. Thank you ma'am
