I cooked this stew last night and it was really good. My children loved it. So good my daughter just asked for some at breakfast. It was also soft to chew and digest. Meat and Potato Stew/ Carne con Papa 3tbsp. olive oil 2 medium onions, chopped 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 2 bay leaves 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce (i used hunt's) 2tbsp. red wine vinegar 2tbsp. capers 1/3 c. green olives with pimientos, cut in half 2c. water 2lb. boneless chuck steak, cut into 1 inch cubes*( I had the butcher at winn dixie cut some sirlion top in 1 inch pieces, I then cut it into cubes at home) its more tender and taste better 6 to 8 medium -sized potatoes peeled and cubed salt to taste 1. Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Saute' onions and green pepper for 2 to 3 minutes, or until onions are soft but not brown. 2. Add garlic, bay leaves, tomato sauce, vinegar, capers, and olives and cook for about 5 minutes. (this onion-pepper mixture is the sofrito.) 3. Add water and meat to sofrito and cook 20 minutes. finally, add potatoes, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, or until meat and paotatoes are tender. Add salt to taste and serve hot. Over white rice Keep on medium heat. Cooking on high will make meat hard and it will burn. Enjoy I'm so lazy I ate some this morning for my protein.
