Method

  1. 1 Roast the dried jute leaves in a dry pan for 4 minutes, then mix with olive oil to form a paste.
  2. 2 Simmer the mixture over the lowest heat for 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until it changes from green to dark brown.
  3. 3 Turning black is the only sign that the flour is cooked; if it's still green, the dish will be very bitter.
  4. 4 Add garlic, onion, bay leaves, coriander powder, and water, then cook for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Add the beef chunks and cook for another 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the bread.
