Beef Muchomo is a classic Uganda street food. Make this specialty at home for any backyard get together.
Beef Muchomo takes the simplest cut of beef and transforms it into something succulent, tender, and full of flavor. It is quickly seared on the grill and then finished low and slow in the oven.
It has a crisp crust that is full of texture and flavor, and the inside is perfectly tender and tastes amazing alongside the skewered onions. Pick up some Peri Peri sauce to dip into and don’t forget the roasted potatoes!
