Ingredients

For The Et Sote

  • 250 grams cubed lean beef
  • 2 medium tomatoes (1 chopped & 1 grated)
  • 2 green peppers (deseeded & roughly chopped)
  • 1 onion (peeled & roughly chopped)
  • 1 fresh chilli (finely chopped (optional))
  • 1 dessert spoonful tomato puree
  • 20 grams butter
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 handful parsley (finely chopped (to garnish))
  • salt & pepper (to taste)

For The Bread

  • 100 grams bread
  • 20 grams butter
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes

Instructions

For The Et Sote

  • Add your meat & butter to a frying pan and cook on a medium heat.
  • Once the juices have reduced, add your onion & pepper (and chilli, if using).
  • Stir around until your onion & pepper have softened a little.
  • Now add your grated tomato & simmer for a few minutes to allow your beef to cook through.
  • Add your chopped tomato, oregano & seasoning and stir.
  • After a couple of minutes, add your salça (tomato paste) and around 100 millilitres of water.
  • Stir until your salça has dissolved and simmer until your beef has completely softened.
  • Add more water if your sauce thickens too much.
  • Remove from the heat.

For The Bread

  • Roughly cut your bread into bite-sized chunks.
  • Heat the butter & chilli flakes in a pan & add the bread.
  • Stir around until the bread starts to crisp & toast (around 2 minutes).
  • Arrange the bread around the edges of two large bowls and add your et sote to the centre.
  • Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Notes

  • As well as beef, sote dishes can also be made with lamb, chicken or vegetables.
  • Other accompaniments can be rice or bulgur wheat pilaf.
