Ingredients

• Beef stew meat - 300 grams
• Carrots - 2 medium (about 200 grams), sliced
• Onion - 1 medium (about 100 grams), chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
2. In a large oven-safe pot or tajine, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
3. Add the beef stew meat to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the ground cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over the beef. Stir to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
