Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 pounds beef top round or chuck steak cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion chopped

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. In a medium bowl, toss together with salt, pepper, and flour.
  • Dredge beef cubes in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess; add to the saucepan and cook until browned on all sides.

  • Return browned beef cubes to the saucepan; bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Next, add the broth and sweet potatoes to the saucepan; cover and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is fork-tender.
