Beef Asado

In a pre-heated pot with oil, saute the garlic until brown then add the onions and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the beef and cook until all sides of the meat are brown.

Once the meat is browned, add the tomato sauce, soy sauce, bay leaves, and star anise and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add water to make the meat tender and season with salt and pepper.

Once the meat is tender and the sauce is thick (approximately cooking it for 30-40 minutes), add the bell peppers and cook for another 10 minutes.
