Preparation
Marinating the Beef
Combine ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes with soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper.
Coat the beef
Mix well so the beef is thoroughly coated.
Refrigerate
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight.
Preparing the Vegetables
Prep vegetables
Peel and cube the potatoes; slice the carrots, red, and green bell peppers.
Ensure all your vegetables are cut uniformly for even cooking.
Set aside
Set the vegetables aside to be added to the stew later.
To avoid bitterness, soak the olives in water for about 15 minutes before using.
Cooking Process
Sautéing the Aromatics
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent.
Cooking the Beef
Add marinated beef and brown on all sides.
Simmering
Pour in tomato sauce, beef broth, bay leaves, and liver spread. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 to 2.5 hours.
