Kapana, Namibian grilled beef Strips over open fire is one of the most popular street foods in Namibia.
Ingredients
1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) well marbled beef steak
2 teaspoons kapana spice mix
2 tablespoons sunflower or olive oil
Preparation
Cut the meat into long interconnected strips.
Place the beef strips, in a casserole dish or similar. Add kapana spice and oil. Using your hands rub the meat very well. Cover with cling film and chill for about 1 hour. In the meantime, make the fire and let the grill heat up.
About 10 minutes before grilling the meat take the meat out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature.
Next place the meat on the grill, our grill had about 175 °C (347 °F). After about 3 minutes turn the strips and grill on the other side for 3 minutes. Then turn it again and grill for about 2 minutes. Turn and grill again und grill for about 2 minutes or until the meat has perfect shear marks.
Kapana tastes best grilled over the fire, but can also be made in the oven and on an electric grill and it still tasted delicious.
