🛒 Ingredients

6 servings

6
  • 1 kg (2.2 lbs) beef ribs, cut into pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 beef bouillon cubes
  • 500 g (1.1 lbs) fresh cassava, peeled and cut into chunks
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, to serve

Directions

  1. 1

    Season the beef ribs generously with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices. Let them rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a pressure cooker over high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides until deeply golden, about 8 minutes total.

  3. 3

    Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and crumbled bouillon cubes. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in enough hot water to cover the meat. Seal the pressure cooker and cook under pressure for 30 minutes, or until the meat is fork-tender.

  5. 5

    Release the pressure, add the cassava chunks, and cook under pressure for an additional 5 minutes, adding more water if needed.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve alongside white rice.

💡 Chef's Tip

Frozen cassava works great and requires no soaking. For extra depth, add a bay leaf and a splash of Worcestershire sauce during braising.
