How to cook Seswaa (Botswana)

Brown the beef slightly in a hot pot with almond oil.

Add a whole onion, bay leaves, and salt to the pot.

Cover the beef with enough water to submerge it.

Stir to ensure all meat is covered and cover the pot.

Place the pot in a preheated oven at 150°C for about 4 hours.

After 4 hours, remove the pot from the oven and check the meat.

Take out the bay leaves and onion, and let it cook uncovered to reduce liquid.

Mash the beef until it achieves a shredded effect.
