Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 boneless beef chuck roast (2 lb), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, if desired, crushed between your fingers to a powder
1 cup pitted prunes
1/4 cup honey
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup slivered almonds
Juice of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon orange flower water, if desired
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Hot cooked couscous or brown rice, if desired

Steps:

  • Sprinkle beef with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.
  • In 4- or 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot. Add half of the beef and cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned. Use slotted spoon to remove beef and place in bowl. Repeat with remaining beef.
  • Add additional oil to pan if necessary. Add onion and cook 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Return beef to pan. Stir in broth, ginger, pepper, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the saffron if desired. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Gently simmer uncovered 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in prunes, honey, cinnamon and cumin. Cook uncovered 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender and prunes are plumped but not falling apart.
  • Stir in almonds, lemon juice and orange flower water. Sprinkle with parsley and serve over couscous if desired.
