2 kg Beef from the “Round Portion” or “Top Rump part”
2 large onions cut into quarters
2 teaspoons pepper powder
2 dry chillies broken into pieces
2 sticks cinamon
2 tablespoons vinegar
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons oil
3 large potatoes pealed
Wash the meat and rub the salt and pepper well into it. Place it in a big oven- proof dish or a pressure cooker, and place on high heat. Keep turning the meat on all sides till it changes colour. Add the onions, potatoes. chillies, vinegar and sufficient water and cook either on the stove or oven till the meat is tender. Continue to simmer on low heat till the meat is nicely brown all over and the potatoes too are nicely roasted. Serve hot or cold with bread.
The same recipe can be used for making Mutton or Lamb Roast as well.

Prick the cake with a toothpick and pour the remaining rum over it.
Remove from the tin when cold and wrap tightly in foil or waxed paper and keep in an airtight container for the cake to absorb the rum.
Just before serving, heat for a minute in a microwave oven and pour some more rum on the cake while hot. Tastes delicious!!!!!
