A simple but amazing Middle Eastern dish containing okra with tomato sauce and wonderful spices. For a vegetarian dish, you can choose to omit the steak completely. Serve with white rice.

Ingredients

⅔ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound beef top sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (10 ounce) package frozen okra, thawed
2 cups water
1 ½ tablespoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt over steak cubes; cook and stir meat in the hot oil with onion and garlic until meat is seared, about 5 minutes; reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until meat is browned, about 3 more minutes. Remove steak pieces and set aside.
Stir tomato sauce and tomato paste into same pot; mix in okra, water, coriander, white pepper, and cumin. Bring to a boil; season with additional salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer until okra is tender, 30 to 45 minutes; return pieces of beef to the bamia. Simmer until flavors are blended, about 10 minutes; garnish with slices of jalapeno pepper.
