How to cook Beef Afritada:
In a pot, boil the beef chunks in water, just enough to cover the meat. Cook until tender.
Remove the beef chunks from the broth and set aside. Save the broth.
In a saucepan, heat some cooking oil and saute garlic until fragrant.
Then add onions and tomatoes. Saute until tender. Add the red and green bell peppers.
Add in the beef cubes and mix well. Pour tomato sauce then followed by the beef broth. Mix well.
Add the carrots, potatoes and the bay leaves. Season with patis or fish sauce and ground pepper.
Simmer until the potatoes are tender. Add more broth if sauce becomes too dry while cooking. Serve hot.
