Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the beef in water with salt, garlic cloves, bay leaves, and black pepper. Once cooked, shred the meat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Peel 3 potatoes and cut them into cubes. Fry the potato cubes in plenty of oil until they are partially cooked. Remove from the oil and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cut the chile peppers in half. In a saucepan, fry the chiles, then remove them. Add chopped tomatoes, onion, and garlic to the pan. The chiles are removed so the dish isn't too spicy, but they will be added back in later.

  4. 4

    Once the vegetables are sautéed, add the potatoes, shredded beef, and the chiles. Stir everything together and add a little bit of the beef broth—just enough to make it juicy. And that's it!
