ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rise the sweet potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces. Spread them on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
Beef
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the schnitzel until browned, 20-30 seconds per side. In the final 30 seconds, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season. Cut into bite-sized chunks.
CHAKALAKA
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, fry the sliced Onions and the diced peppers until slightly soft and browning, 6-7 minutes. Add the diced Tomatoes, the curry blend, and the grated carrot. Fry until fragrant, allowing the tomatoes to break down into a sauce, 4-5 minutes. Add 50ml of water, the drained beans, and the sliced chilli (to taste). Simmer until the mixture thickens to a chunky texture, 4-5 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the beef chunks. Remove from the pan, add a sweetener (to taste), season, and cover to keep warm.
