- Cooking beef (Preferably tender meat like round steak)
- Salto to taste
Put beef into chunks and place in a pot. Add enough water to cover and simmer until the meat is cooked and tender. Remove the bones (the meat should come off quite easily). Remove from heat and use a wooden spoon to pound the meat, which should appear shredded. You may brown the meat further if desired or cook off the remaining liquid.
Sides: Seswaa is best served with maize porridge (“Pap”) or sorghum porridge (“Bogobe”).
