Beef Stew (Carne con Papas)

Ask the butcher for lean beef chunks. Add the oil with salt to the pot and brown the beef. Add all of the ingredients into your cooking pot after the meat browns including the water from the green peas but hold of adding the peas for now. Cook over medium heat for 45 minutes or until the meat is falling apart soft. Turn the heat off and add the green peas stirring it in to the stew. Let it rest for 15 min. Served best with white rice, beans, and sweet fried plantains.
