In a large pot on medium heat, add the oil and chopped onion, cook until the onion is transparent, add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2

Then add the beef chunks that have been dredged in flour, cook for about 5-8 minutes, until the beef has browned, stirring often so nothing burns.

Step 3

Add tomato paste, seven spices, bay leaves, cardamom pods, vegetable broth or bouillon cube and water, cook on low heat for 45 minutes, then the chunks of potato, a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed in with 1/2 cup of water and cook on low heat for another an 45 minutes or until the potato tender and sauce thickened.
