MA HALIMA'S BEEF SUQAAR



Ma Halima's Beef Suqaar image

This is Minnesota-based home cook Ma Halima's quick version of suqaar, a meat-and-vegetable stir-fry that's popular in her home country of Somalia. Complex flavor is built with spices like cumin and turmeric; a hit of cilantro and lime juice at the end give it a pop of freshness. Serve it as Ma Halima does, with plain rice or pilaf, chopped lettuce, and lemon wedges to squeeze on top. The recipe is featured in the cookbook, In Bibi's Kitchen by Hawa Hassan with Julia Turshen.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck or other stew meat, cut into bite-size pieces
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
2 large carrots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 small green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Large handful of cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Warm oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and onion, and sprinkle with a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned in spots and onion is beginning to become tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add carrots and sprinkle cumin and turmeric over everything, along with another large pinch of salt. Stir in 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook until carrots are beginning to get tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, cover again, and cook until carrots and pepper are just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off heat, stir in lime juice, and season to taste. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container and rewarmed in a skillet set over low heat.

MA HALIMA'S BEEF SUQAAR



Ma Halima's Beef Suqaar image

Roughly translated from Arabic, suqaar means "small ones" and the dish is basically a quickly cooked mixture of small pieces of meat and vegetables. Think of this as a Somali stir-fry. Suqaar is a very flexible dish and can be made with any type of meat. Goat is the most traditional, but here we opt for beef. Serve it just as Ma Halima does, with cooked rice or Bariis (Basmati Rice Pilaf with Raisins), chopped lettuce, and big pieces of lemon to squeeze on top of everything.

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck or other stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
2 large carrots, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1/4 cup water
1 small green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 cups roughly chopped romaine lettuce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot set over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sprinkle with a large pinch of salt. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned in spots and the onion is beginning to become tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the carrots and sprinkle the cumin and turmeric over every-thing, along with another large pinch of salt.

Stir in the bell pepper and cook until the carrots and peppers are just barely tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, and season to taste with salt; turn off the heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days and rewarmed in a skillet set over low heat (stir while you heat).
