Seswaa Recipe

Seswaa is a traditional Botswana dish featuring beef slow-cooked until it's incredibly tender and easily shredded. The process is straightforward: sear large chunks of beef, then braise them for hours with a whole onion and bay leaves until the meat practically falls apart. Once the liquid has reduced, the beef is pounded directly in the pot, transforming it into a pile of soft, savory shreds. It ’s often served with a thick cornmeal porridge, like pap or sadza, and some green vegetables.
