Instructions

  1. In a heavy bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil, add the beef and cook for 4-5 minutes without touching. Flip over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Set the beef aside
  2. In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil along with the garlic, cilantro and onions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the frozen okra, lemon juice, salt, pepper and 7 Spice to the garlic cilantro mixture and stir well, coating the okra with the mixture and breaking up the frozen okra. Cook the okra, stirring occasionally until the okra is fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add the tomato paste, fresh cut tomatoes and water to the pan. Then return the beef, and mix to incorporate everything together. Lower heat to low and simmer covered for 15 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Serve over traditional Arabic rice pilaf and sprinkle fresh cilantro for garnish.
