Diced beef with tomato is the perfect food to scoop your crusty bread into. Minimum effort is required for this simple traditional dish. This basic beef and tomato recipe is what our farmers used to eat for a simple and quick bite.
Diced beef and tomato are usually eaten with fresh Arabic bread alongside other favourite staples like labneh dip (strained yogurt), olives, mana-eesh (traditional herb pizzas), and fresh vegetables. This makes a crowd-pleasing starter. You can also serve it on mini bite-sized toast for your next dinner party.
Step 1.
In a small pot, sauté the onion and chilli in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Stir in the meat and continue to cook until the meat is brown in colour (approximately 10 minutes).
Step 2.
Add the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid and simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the sauce slightly thickens.
Garnish with chopped green chilli peppers.
