Step 1 of 6
Lakra me Mish (Cabbage and Beef Stew)
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large lidded saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, diced beef and red pepper. Fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully browned.
Step 2
Add the paprika, tomato purée and chilli flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well and fry for 2 more minutes.
Step 3
Add the cabbage and stir to combine. Fry for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to soften and most of the oil has been absorbed.
Step 4
Pour in 1 litre of boiling water — it should fully cover the cabbage with about 2–3cm to spare. Cover with a lid and bring back to the boil.
Step 5
Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 hours 30 minutes until the cabbage is completely soft and the beef is very tender.
Step 6
Ladle into wide bowls and leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
