Instructions
Cut meat in cubes and clean with lemon or vinegar. Rinse and pat dry. Place meat in large bowl. Add spices, hot sauce, oil and vinegar. Mix well, cover and chill for 2 - 3 hours before cooking.
Remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. In a heavy bottom pan, add beef and marinade. Cook beef on medium high for about 7 - 10 minutes, then lower heat and continue to cook for 12-15 minutes - making sure the beef has enough liquid to cook. If need be, add only 1/4 cup at a time. (but not necessary).
Add diced tomatoes and continue to cook until well incorporated for another 5 minutes. If using tomato paste, dilute in a little bit of water and stir in.
Add chopped kale and diced green and yellow squash (zucchini). Season to taste. Add 1 cup water and stir, season to taste again. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 40 minutes to 1 hour or until beef fully cooked.
Serve with rice or root vegetables
Notes
Cooking time may be longer depending on size of meat.
Taste may be a bit mild for some people if using Mrs. Dash. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Add more vegetables to the stew if preferred, and adjust seasoning.
