I found this recipe in my local paper. This is a recipe of Johnson Njuguna, he is head chef at a Hotel, near where I live. He states according to African tradition, men are not supposed to cook and don't go into the kitchen, but it's changing, although some woman still chase men out. He loved cooking and before coming to Australia he learnt his craft at a Kenyan college. He was also head chef at one of Nirobi's prestigous Hotels. I have not made this yet but fully intend to try it. He also states that in Kenya Simba Mbili brand curry powder is a favorite. Ingredients are left up to your taste, as to how much or little you prefer. Times will vary as too how long you wish to marinade and I have not included roasting of the meat in the cooking times.
Ingredients:
1 -2 kg beef short ribs or 1 -2 kg beef, suitable for roasting
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 lemon, juice of
curry powder, to taste
turmeric, to taste
coriander, to taste, fresh finely chopped
paprika, to taste
salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Combine the lemon juice, garlic and spices (to suit your taste) into a large glass dish and mix very well.
2. Add the meat and stir to coat the meat with the marinade and allow to marinade for at least one hour.
3. Grill or roast meat as usual in your oven.
