Toss the diced beef with half the salt, black pepper, cumin, and cinnamon.
Slice the onions into half moons, finely chop the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
Sear the beef in olive oil for 8 minutes, until it takes color.
Add the onions, garlic, and ginger, and saute for 6 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, meat broth, remaining salt, boiled chickpeas, and dried apricots to the pot.
Cook the tagine over low heat for 75 minutes, until the meat is tender.
Uncover and thicken the sauce for 6 minutes, then serve hot.
💡 Tip: If you do not have a tagine dish, use a heavy cast-iron pot; if the lid does not close tightly, lining the inside with parchment helps trap steam.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve beef tagine with couscous or bulgur pilaf, optional yogurt, and a mint salad.
