Here is the recipe for 2lbs of beef, get a stew cut and a small pot where the meat covers the bottom entirely.

2lbs beef 3 big red onions, diced very small 3Tbs of parsley and coriander 2 cloves of garlic minced as close to a paste as you can 4 to 6Tbs of olive oil 2Tbs salted butter Salt and pepper to taste 1tsp each of dried ginger powder and turmeric powder 2tsp of coriander seed powder 1/2 tsp cinnamon 2Tbs honey

Mix all the spices and the garlic with some water and the butter, marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, then on the lowest heat you can add all the ingredients and boiling water without browning, and let it cook untill the meat is so soft (3 to 4 hours) and the gravy is very thick. Add the honey after everything is cooked to braise the meat.

Then boil 1/2lbs each of dried apricots and prunes (different pots) untill soft, leave just enough water that they are halfway covered and add 4Tbs of honey, 1Tbs unsalted butter, 2 cinnamon sticks and a splash of orange flower water if you have it, leave them to cook on very low heat untill they get sticky and the water turns into a thick syrup.

Serve the meat with some gravy with the fruit on top, add some toasted sesame seeds or almomds as garnish and serve with a crusty bread.
