Steps:

Clean the stew meat and cut, if necessary, into smaller chunks. Add the meat to a large pot along with enough water to completely cover the meat. Season the mix with adobo and meat tenderizer. Cook uncovered on low-medium heat for about 40 minutes or until the meat is tender, stirring occasionally.
Add a serving-spoon's worth of cooking oil. Not a tablespoon, but the bigger spoon one uses to stir a pot.
Add 1 packet of sazón.
Add 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce.
Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.
Add 1 tablespoon of sofrito or recaito.
Add 5-6 olives with a teaspoon of the vinegar from the olives.
Add potatoes and carrots.
Cover and cook on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Stir occasionally.
Raise heat to medium-high for about 10 minutes to let the sauce thicken a bit, again stirring occasionally.
