Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

675 grams sirloin tips, cubed

2 bay leaves

0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

120 ml dry sherry

1 can (227 g) tomato sauce

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

60 ml pimento-stuffed green olives

60 ml raisins

2 tablespoons capers

4 potatoes, peeled and quartered

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1

In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently, until they become transparent. Add the cubed meat, and cook until it's nicely browned. Stir in the chopped red bell pepper, bay leaves, ground cumin, and dried oregano; cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the dry sherry, tomato sauce, red wine vinegar, green olives, raisins, and capers. Pour in enough water to just cover the meat. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer until the meat is fork-tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Add more water if the stew becomes too thick.

Step 3

Stir the quartered potatoes into the stew. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook it covered until the potatoes are almost tender. Then uncover and cook until they are fully done.
