Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef sirloin steak, cut into 1
  • inch cubes
  • 3 cups collard greens, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced

Instructions

To enhance aroma and flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and finely chopped ingredients in the Kachumbari salad.

Notes

Cultural or Historical Background
