700-800g of chuck casserole steak cut into chunks
4 large potatoes - diced
5 carrots diced
1 onion diced into large chunks
caraway seeds - 2 tsp
bay leaves - 3 -
1 cup of whiskey for fragrance and get rid of meat smell
half a can of tomatoes
2 cups of light soy sauce

6 cups of water

Step 1:
Prepare a hot casserole pot with the vegetable oil. When heated, throw in the garlic, onion, and the steak.
Saute until meat is brown.

Step 2:
Deglaze with the canned tomatoes, whiskey, and water.

Step3:
After deglazing, throw in carrots and potatoes. Now throw in bay leaves, salt, caraway seeds, vinegar,  ground pepper, salt and sugar. Wait for the mixture to boil and reduce to heat right down to low so that it is just at boiling point. Cover the pot with lid and leave to cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve with rice or noodles. This is a great winters meal and a good source of iron. A good vitamin boost for winter. If you have a  cold, this can help get rid of it. You can accompany the dish with some greens but this is optional.
