Khoresh bāmieh is a traditional stew originating from Iran. The stew is usually made with a combination of beef or lamb, tomato paste, okra, onions, garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, turmeric, cinnamon, beef stock, bay leaves, salt, and peper. The meat is browned in oil and it's then mixed with all the other ingredients except okra.


The pot is covered and the dish is simmered until the meat is tender. Near the end of cooking, okra is added to the pot and cooked until soft. The stew is served warm and it's usually accompanied by rice on the side.
