Ingredients

Moroccan Beef Stew

2-21/2 lb roast sirloin tip Beef
1 tbsp butter
¼ cup onion sliced
2 garlic cloves sliced
6-8 date plums
1 orange cut into four
4 small carrots or two large ones
1 540 ml can of chickpeas
3 tbsp cumin
4 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp ginger
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp coriander
1 796 ml can of diced tomatoes
1 tsp pink peppercorn
1 tbsp honey

Optional Garnish

cilantro roughly chopped
pistachios roughly chopped
feta cheese

Instructions

Bring the roast to room temperature.
Mix together the cumin, cinnamon, ginger, kosher salt and coriander. Set aside 1 tbsp of spices. Use the rest to coat the roast.
Set your Ninja/Instapot to sear/sauté mode. Heat a tbsp butter on high heat and add the roast. Brown beef on all sides. Once it's finished, turn the heat off.
Add in the remaining ingredients (garlic, onion, carrots, plums, diced tomatoes, pink peppercorn, orange slices and chickpeas and honey). Then sprinkle on the rest of the spice mix.
Set your Ninja/Instapot to slow cook mode on low for 7 hours.
Once it's done cooking, pull the roast out and pull the meat apart with two forks. Return the meat to the post and give it a stir ensuring the meat is fully coated.
Serve the stew over a plate of couscous with bread of your choice.

Notes

If you can't find date plums, any plum will do or you can substitute prunes (dried plums).

There are so many great toppings you can add on top before serving. Some of my favourites: cilantro, mint, pistachios, almonds, raisins, dried apricot, fresh pomegranate, chopped dates or feta cheese
