Method

  1. 1 Cut the beef into 1.5 cm cubes, then coat with flour and fry in hot oil for 6 minutes.
  2. 2 Tossing the sauce with flour before frying helps it thicken without needing to add more flour later.
  3. 3 Fry the potato blocks separately for 6 minutes until the outside is seared, then remove from the pan.
  4. 4 Sauté the onions with garlic and jalapeño, then add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Put the beef in a little water and simmer for 15 minutes until the meat is tender and the sauce thickens.
  6. 6 Add the potatoes back to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with herbs and serve with cornbread.
