Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1–2 inch cubes
- 2 large yellow onions, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, minced
- 2 tsp cumin

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, vinegar, and palm sugar to create a marinade.
