Beef Pilau image

Great use of beef stew meat! Wonderful beef stew with coriander, coconut and tomatoes. This is a dish from East Africa, but has lots of Indian influence. It combines the Indian spice coriander with several classic African ingredients...peanuts, coconut, tomatoes, and green beans. I think you could substitute okra for the green beans if you wanted to.

I wonder if this pilaf would be good with lamb instead of beef.

The beef pilaf was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as flavorful as I had hoped.

This pilaf was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices.

I'm not a huge fan of beef, but I really enjoyed this pilaf. The spices were perfectly balanced and the rice was fluffy.

The beef pilaf was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used basmati rice and added some extra vegetables, like carrots and peas.

This pilaf was a hit with my family! The beef was tender and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.
