Ingredients

  • (1.1lb) of lean beef stewing/braising steak (in steaks
    not diced)
    500 g
  • (1.3lb) of green olives
    stones removed
    600 g
  • Six large tomatoes
    diced
    1 unit
  • One onion
    finely chopped
    1 unit
  • One large clove of garlic
    finely chopped
    1 unit
  • Olive oil
    1 unit

Method

1
In a large saucepan or casserole dish, gently fry the onion and garlic in plenty of good olive oil for a few minutes, taking care not to brown them.
2
Season the beef well with salt and black pepper and immediately add to the pan. Fry until evenly sealed and lightly browned.
3
Add the olives and tomatoes to the pan and simmer gently for two hours with the lid on.
4
Serve. The olives make this a filling meal in itself, but it could be served with rice or simply with bread to mop-up the gravy.
