Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef — For the best results, choose a tender cut of beef such as sirloin or tenderloin. Thinly slice the beef against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Tips & Tricks

• If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the spice mixture.
• For a richer flavor, marinate the beef in the spice mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
• Serve the Kenyan-style Eezgii with a side of Kenyan chapati or naan bread for a complete meal.
