Cost per serving $0.97 view details
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, trimmed, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 1-1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp minced Scotch bonnet chile pepper or habanero
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 tsp dried
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 lb sweet potato (about 1 large), cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 1 cup chopped (1/2') okra, fresh or frozen (not thawed)
  • 3 cups chopped callaloo, collard greens or spinach
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 1 (14 oz) can “lite” coconut milk, well shaken

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add steak and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add onion, garlic, chile pepper and thyme to the pot and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk water and cornstarch in a bowl or large measuring cup; add to the pot along with sweet potato and okra. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in callaloo (or collards or spinach) and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt; cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  4. Add scallions and the steak plus any accumulated juices. Cook until the steak is hot and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in coconut milk.
