Crab Beef And Okra Stew Recipes

BROKEN CRAB AND OKRA STEW

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over crabs to stun them to prevent them pinching you.
• "Debark" and clean them (remove the top shell and gills), break in half.
• If you wish, remove legs and back fins.
• Fry the bacon in a large skillet, add crab pieces, onons, water, and if using, stewed tomatoes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer 15 minutes.
• Add okra and boil gently, stirring often, 15 to 20 minutes- or simmer until the okra is tender but the crab is still firm.

BEEF AND OKRA STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon of each). Add the beef to the hot oil along with the beef bouillon, onion and garlic and cook until the beef is seared, about 5 minutes; reduce the heat to medium. Continue to cook, stirring, until the beef is browned, about 3 more minutes. Remove the beef to a plate and set aside.
• Stir the tomato sauce, beef stock, tomato paste, ginger, sugar, 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper and 1 cup water into the pot. Bring to a boil; season with additional salt. Return the beef to the pot and add the okra. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the okra is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add additional stock or water if the stew is too thick; the okra will thicken the stew as it cooks.

Return the beef to the pot, reduce to a simmer and cook until the meat is fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
