Add panela (or brown sugar) to the pot and let it caramelize until well browned.

3

Sear the beef roast on all sides in the pot until caramelized.

In a very hot skillet, sear the beef to create a golden crust.

8

Add 1 tablespoon of mustard and 1 teaspoon of garlic paste.

9

Pour in beef broth and add bay leaves, then cover and cook for 2.5 hours.

While the beef is cooking, prepare a potato salad by peeling, cutting, and washing potatoes and carrots.

11

Cut potatoes and carrots into cubes and add to boiling water with eggs and 1 teaspoon of salt.

12

Once cooked, chop apples and onions, placing apples in water with lemon to prevent browning.

Optionally add parsley or cilantro to the salad.

15
