In the meantime you can brown the beef and drain it , add,onion, garlic, pepper, cilantro olives, tomato paste and Zason GOYA . Let simmer on medium to low heat for about half hour covered, add salt and pepper. If when you uncovered the beef is too liquidy
Then leave on about 5 more minutes uncovered until it dries up a little.
