Seswaa (Botswanan Slow-Cooked Pounded Beef)
Ultra-tender beef slow-simmered with bone-in richness and hand-pounded into savory, shredded perfection.
The story
Seswaa is the undisputed national dish of Botswana, cooked by men in three-legged cast iron potjies over open fires at major community gatherings (dikgotla) and weddings. Unlike heavily spiced stews across Africa, authentic Seswaa relies strictly on beef, water, and coarse salt, coaxing pure unadulterated flavor from bone collagen through hours of slow boiling before it is beaten into tender shreds.
