Beef in Tomato Sauce with Peppers

Cut the meat into pieces and sear over high heat in a skillet with vegetable oil until all the liquid evaporates.

Add the sliced onion to the meat and sauté for 4 minutes. Next, toss in the bell pepper and cook for another couple of minutes.

Add the diced tomatoes, butter, tomato paste, spices, salt, and pepper. Stir well, pour in hot water, cover, and simmer over low heat for 1.5 hours. Keep an eye on the tenderness of the meat—it might only take an hour.
