  • 1/2 large onion onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sliced garlic, stirring until they are translucent.

  4. Pour in enough water to cover the meat (about 3 cups), and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.

  7. Let them cook alongside the beef for an hour.
  8. Test the beef for tenderness after another hour; continue simmering if necessary.
