Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Egyptian Beef in Rich Onion Sauce.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large saucepan and adding your cubed beef stew meat, a generous pat of butter, and a splash of canola oil.
Step 2
Heat it over medium, stirring occasionally, until the beef takes on a lovely light brown color—this should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce thinly sliced onions to the mix, along with chicken bouillon cubes, a bay leaf, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of ground black pepper.
Step 4
Pour in enough water to cover the beef completely, creating a flavorful base for your stew.
Step 5
Now, lower the heat, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer gently for at least two hours.
Step 6
This slow cooking process allows the beef to become tender and the onions to melt down into a rich, thick sauce that will warm your heart and home.
Step 7
Enjoy the delightful aromas wafting through your kitchen as you wait for this comforting dish to come together!.
