The Ingredients

The Procedure
First, you will want to cut the potatoes into small cubes. Next, you will separate the meat from the bones and cut the beef into large pieces, discarding the bones. The best way to do this is to put the meat in a large bowl and use a fork to break down the large chunks of beef. Once the meat is broken down, add the potatoes and pour the spicy sauce over the top. Use the back of a fork to mix everything together and let the beef cook in the spicy sauce for 20 to 30 minutes, until the beef is done. When the stew is ready, you can serve it with rice and vegetables, or with bread rolls for the adults and popcorn for the kids.
