PREPARATION
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan and add the washed and drained meat, cut into strips. Fry it for about 4-5 minutes until nicely browned. Then turn it out onto a plate.
Add a little more oil to the pan where the meat was cooking and add the peeled and chopped onions. Fry, stirring, for about 5-6 minutes. Then add the rinsed and chopped peppers. Fry for another 3-4 minutes.
Then add the peeled and finely chopped ginger root, the spices (except oregano) and the flour to the onions and peppers. Stir-fry over a low heat for about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the broth a little at a time. Shake in the tomatoes and add the oregano. Simmer over a medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Now return the meat to the pan, cover with the lid. Simmer the meat over a low heat for 1,5 hours until tender. 15 minutes before the end of the simmering time, add the drained beans. Taste and add salt or spices if still missing.
Enjoy!
