Start by frying 3 large onions until they begin to brown.

Add beef to the onions and stir for a few minutes.

Season with black pepper to taste, coriander powder, and Vegeta; continue stirring without adding water.

Add a cinnamon stick, garlic paste, and tomato paste to the mixture.

Pour in water and cook for 40 minutes or until the meat is about 80% cooked.

Add cumin powder and the defrosted Mia to the pot.

Cook for 15 minutes on medium to high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Check the seasoning of the stew and add salt or any preferred seasoning to taste.

Allow the stew to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes on low heat to blend the flavors.

Serve the stew with a staple of your choice, such as rice.
