Wash jute leaves and black eyed peas leaves separately in running water, rubbing them lightly to remove dirt.

Pluck the leaves from the stems of the black eyed peas, discarding the stems.

Chop the vegetables into sleek slices for quicker cooking.

In a new pot, add 1 glass of water and 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda, stirring to combine.

Once the water starts to bubble, add the black eyed peas leaves and cover the pot to simmer for 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes, add the jute leaves to the pot and stir.

In a separate pot, add 2 glasses of water, beef, onion, and tomato, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Check the beef after 15 minutes to ensure it's cooked and tender, then add a tiny amount of water and chili pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Combine the cooked beef with the vegetable sauce and stir.

Add 4 tablespoons of unsweetened groundnut paste, stirring until reaching the desired consistency, adding more if needed.

Reduce heat to low to prevent sticking, taste for salt, and adjust if necessary.

Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 3 minutes before serving.
