- Powder Seasoning (⅛ tsp tumeric, ¼ tsp curry, ¼ tsp dried thyme)

Directions
Step 1
Cook the rice: (1 cup of white long grain rice needs approximately 1.5 - 2 cups of water.) Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring the water to a boil, add ⅓ tsp salt or salt to taste according to your preference then add in the rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Step 2
Prepare the tomato stew: In a blender, combine tomatoes, onions, pepper, bell pepper, spring onion, garlic and ginger with ¼ cup of water. Blend until you achieve a smooth sauce consistency and set aside.
Step 3
Heat oil in a pot or skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of diced onions and minced garlic. Stir and cook until they become fragrant. Add the meat (beef), ½ tsp salt to the pot and stir until it browns.
Step 4
Pour in the blended tomato sauce and seasonings of your choice. Stir well to combine everything. Reduce the heat to low and let the beef stew simmer for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the beef stew is cooked to your desired consistency and flavor, you can taste for salt and it's ready to be served.
Remember, you can adjust the seasonings and cooking time according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your delicious tomato beef stew with white rice!
