Topside stew is a classic dish in many countries, and rightly so, as it is delicious, filling, and can be easily customized by changing the spices and vegetables used. The recipe usually involves stewing tough cuts of meat for a few hours until they become tender and fall apart. The topside steak in this recipe is perfect for the stew as it can be cooked quickly but still retains its flavor and texture. The stew is then flavored with a delicious mix of aromatic spices such as paprika, rosemary, thyme, and cloves that give it a rich and warming taste that is perfect for the colder months. Serving the stew with fluffy rice adds a perfect balance to every bite, with the rice soaking up the flavorful broth of the stew, making it a complete meal on its own.
