Ankole Grilled Beef
🥩
Photo coming soon
Mbarara's cattle-monument roundabout, shaped like a giant pair of Ankole horns, celebrates the same animal that supplies the city's grilled beef stalls.
Beef from the region's iconic long-horned Ankole cattle is cut into pieces, salted and grilled over charcoal at roadside stalls around Mbarara, often eaten alongside karo or eshabwe.
Why it's made this way: Ankole cattle, with horns that can span up to eight feet tip to tip, are the Banyankole's traditional measure of wealth and status, and their meat and milk sit at the center of the region's food culture.
