Categories: Entree Ethnic
Yield: 4 Servings

1lbBeef, cubed
4 Potatoes, sliced
2mdOnions, sliced
2slTomatoes Butter
1smCan tomato sauce Salt Lots and Lots of pepper Water

Thirty years ago two Egyptian fellows worked in the Paper Mill where I was the Chemist. We had them to our house many times for meals. One time they said they would cook. This is what they made. The Title is what they called it. We think it means Beef and Potatoes, but we were never sure. We love it and Shirley still makes it from time to time.

Dot an oblong pan with butter and arrange potato slices on the bottom. Then add cubes of beef and sliced onion. Put a of black pepper on this layer. (Don't ask why oblong - because it's Egyptian I guess)

Add more potatoes, onions and the sliced tomatoes. Dot with more butter. Add more, lots more pepper. Pour the tomato paste over the top and add quite a bit of water, but not enough to cover. Add some more pepper. I'm not kidding about the pepper, they used a wackin' lot of it.

Cook in the oven for an hour at 400 F. If it starts to get too brown or dry on top, cover it.

Serve with rice.
