How to Make Bamya Lamb Or Beef And Okra Stew

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb or beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the crushed tomatoes and beef or lamb broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is very tender.
  5. Add the sliced okra to the stew and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the okra is tender but still slightly firm.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  7. Serve hot with rice, couscous, or crusty bread.
