Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the diced beef and rib pieces in a wide, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for 60-75 minutes until the meat releases its juices and they cook off again.

  2. 2

    If the rib meat comes away from the bone easily, remove the bones and leave the meat in the pot.

  3. 3

    Add the butter and fry the meat over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until the edges brown.

  4. 4

    Add the onions, sliced into half-moons, and cook for 6-8 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Add the chopped peppers and cook for 4 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the diced tomato, salt and pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes until the tomato juices evaporate. Serve hot.
