Ingredients
•2 pounds stewing beef (trim visible fat) •Salt and pepper -- to taste •Oil -- 2 tablespoons •Onion, finely chopped -- 1 •Bell pepper, finely chopped -- 1 •Garlic, minced -- 3 to 4 cloves •1/2 can of tomato sauce (8 oz can) •Cilantro, chopped -- 1/4 cup* •Oregano -- 2 teaspoons •Bay Leaves -- 2 •Beef stock or water -- 2 cups (reduced sodium) •Potatoes, cut into chunks -- 2
1.Rinse the beef pieces, pat them dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high flame and brown the beef, a few pieces at a time, on both sides. Set aside.
2.Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the pot and saute until the onion softens and turns translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, cilantro, oregano and bay leaves and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the liquid somewhat.
3.Return the beef pieces to the pot and add the beef stock or water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover loosely and simmer for 60 to 90 minutes. Add more stock or water if necessary.
4.Add the potatoes and simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
