Beef Stew

Sweet Plantains

Salad

Soda

Method

Beef Stew

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened (about 4-5 minutes).

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the carrots and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Return the browned beef to the pot.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in the beef broth, adding bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 1.5-2 hours until the beef is tender.

Rice & Beans

  1. 5

    Cook Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until water is absorbed.

  2. 6

    Heat Beans

    In another pot, heat the black beans over medium heat. Add minced garlic and salt, stirring until heated through.

Sweet Plantains

  1. 7

    Prepare Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.

  2. 8

    Fry Plantains

    In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced plantains and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Salad

  1. 9

    Prepare Salad

    In a large bowl, combine chopped lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 10

    Dress Salad

    Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, then season with salt to taste. Toss to combine.

Soda

  1. 11

    Serve Soda

    Chill the cans of soda and serve alongside the meal.
