Step 1: Saute the onions in the 3-4 tablespoons olive oil

Step 2: Add the beef cubes or the chicken cutlets, sear for 3-4 min on each side

Step 3: Add 1 liter of water or just enough to cover the meat

Step 4: Cook over medium heat until the meat is done (I usually do this in the pressure cooker and press them for 5 min)

Step 5: Add the frozen mulukhyia and stir until it thaws completely and then comes to a boil

Step 6: In another pan add the 1/4 to 1/2 cup of olive oil and the cloves of garlic and cook over medium low heat until you can smell the garlic (don’t brown it, it will become bitter)

Step 7: Add the oil and garlic to the mulukhyia and lower the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes

Step 8: Add salt to taste

Step 9: Serve with a generous amount of lemon juice.

Step 10: You can serve it with some short grain rice or some pita bread
