Kapana (Namibian Street-Style Flame-Grilled Beef)
Tender charred beef strips seasoned with spicy kapana salt and served alongside a tangy tomato-onion relish.
The story
Born in the open-air markets of Windhoek's Katutura township, Kapana is Namibia's premier street-food ritual. Vendors grill thinly sliced beef and beef fat over red-hot camelthorn wood coals at communal braai stands. Customers select sizzling pieces directly from the metal grate to dip into fiery spice mixtures.
