This Middle Eastern Cookies leans on cumin and coriander to do the heavy lifting. We sear the Beef for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the cumin and coriander elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the beef. Sear in a hot pan without crowding until a deep golden crust forms, then rest briefly.
Stir in the sumac and the rest of the cumin and coriander flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the red pepper along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the topping and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
