Beef Tagine with Prunes

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb beef stew meat
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 cup prunes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 1.5 lb beef stew meat with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan.

3. 3

   Add the 1 large sliced onion and 1 tsp ground cinnamon to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour in 2 cups beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the beef is tender, about 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir in the 1 cup prunes and continue simmering uncovered until the sauce thickens slightly and the prunes are plump, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

6. 6

   Serve hot over couscous or with crusty bread, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
