Cape Malay spice masala steak strips

South African 15 Mins Prep · 45 Mins Cook


  1. Slice the steak into long strips and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the spices with 3 tbsp oil and 3 tbsp vinegar to form a thick paste. Add the steak strips and ensure they’re generously coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a deeper flavour.
  3. Thinly slice the onions and capsicums. Chop the tomato.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add half the sliced onions and sauté until golden. Stir in the chopped tomato and all the sliced capsicums and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Add the marinated steak and all the remaining marinade to the pan. Stir in the tomato paste, ketchup and water. Mix well and cook over a medium heat for approx. 30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Add the remaining sliced onion and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  6. Serve the masala steak while hot with flaky roti, naan, or soft rolls.
