Every good pot of sadza/ugali/pap/fufu/rice deserves a great stew and if you are a beef eater, this is the recipe for you. While coconut adds a subtle flavor to the stew, it can be omitted for a lower fat variation.

Thank you Leonard. Hope you got a great grade on your exam.
ATTENTION: two pounds of beef does not equal 4.4 kilograms. 1kg = 2.2 lbs, not the other way around! The mistake in this recipe makes it call for nearly ten pounds of beef! It should say 900 grams instead of 4.4 kg of beef in the conversion.
Looking forward to trying this!
Good catch. That would have made a big pot of tasteless stew. We will make the change. Thanks for the correction.
