Ingredients

4 pounds lean beef, cubed

4 tablespoons oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups hot water

2 large cans tomatoes

2 thin slices lemon

4 medium onions, sliced

2 tablespoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

6 tablespoons sugar

12 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

9 to 10 medium potatoes, quartered

Dash cloves

1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven or skillet, brown beef well in oil. After the beef is cooked, remove and put into a deep pot. Add the garlic and mix well. Add water, tomatoes, lemon, onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well and simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add carrots, potatoes, cloves, and crushed basil leaves.

This recipe is simple and so delicious! I did not follow the proportions of the recipe as instructed but it turned out well. The meat is tender and very good. <br /><br />I would only recommend it if you like dishes that have a tomato flavor and a bit sweet. Very yummy!
