Start by salting the beef and heating cooking oil in a glass iron pot or any pot you have.

Add the beef to the pot and let it brown on all sides.

Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set aside.

Add chopped onions and green pepper to the pot, cooking until the onions are soft.

Add diced potatoes and a little salt, cooking until the onions and peppers are soft.

Add minced garlic to the pot and cook until fragrant.

Stir in 50g of tomato paste and let it cook through, creating a nice aroma.

Add half a cup of water to the pot, ensuring the beef is submerged in the liquid.

Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.

Pour in a full bottle of Wenda beer and let the stew cook.

Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for about 1 to 1.5 hours, checking occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the beef is tender, mix half a packet of soup with a cup of water and add it to the stew, stirring to avoid clumps.

Let the stew cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until it thickens.
