2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion (minced)
1/4 cup pancetta (cubed)
1-2 stems rosemary (fresh)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 pound Boneless beef chuck steak cut into chunks
4-5 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into large chunks)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1-2 dashes pepper or hot pepper flakes
2-3 cups water or low sodium vegetable broth*

Steps:

In a large pot add the olive oil and minced onion, cook on medium heat until transparent (2-3 minutes). Add the pancetta, rosemary and garlic, sautee 2-3 minutues.
Add the beef (toss the beef with about 3-4 tablespoons of flour before adding) and cook on low heat for about 5-8 minutes, turning often so the meat browns and nothing burns.
Add the potatoes, tomato paste, oregano, hot pepper flakes and broth (or water and bouillon cube). Cook on low covered for about one hour or until tender and thickened. Taste for salt before serving.* Enjoy!
