Spiced Cypriot Pan-Fried Beef Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: beef, coriander, carrot, cumin, lemon juice, bay leaf, salt.

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

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Cypriot 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 Cypriot accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
