Beef Sauté (Dana Eti Sote)

Beef Sauté (Dana Eti Sote)

1 lb (450 gr) beef, chopped in bite sizes
1 medium onion, cut in strips/round
1 small green pepper, chopped
3 tbsp smashed or diced tomatoes
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
¼ tsp cumin
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp thyme (optional)

In a Tefal pan or in a stainless steel pot place the chopped beef and close the lid properly. Cook till the water evaporates (40-50 min) at low heat.
When all the water evaporates, add the oil, salt and onions. Sauté for 2 minutes over low-medium heat. Then, add the pepper and tomatoes. Stir and cook for 6-8 minutes on low heat.
Finally add the cumin, black pepper and thyme.
NOTE: If you add the salt at the beginning the meat would be hard to chew.
Serve it warm. This dish goes well with yoghurt or ayran.
