Herby Bissau-Guinean Roasted Beef Bake

Assemble the ingredients: beef, parsley, bay leaf, chili, potato, butter, lemon juice.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until roasted.

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.
