Hearty Bissau-Guinean Pan-Fried Beef Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: beef, chili, water, olive oil, tomato, paprika, parsley.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Bissau-Guinean flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Bissau-Guinean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
