Once the garlic and onion are browned, add the beef to the pan and stir continuously on medium-high flame until browned.

To thicken the sauce, add 1 teaspoon of flour and about half a cup of water, stirring until the flour is dissolved.

Pour the flour mixture into the stew and add the chopped potatoes and tomatoes, mixing well.

Season with a four-finger pinch of consumido pollo and salt, and add 2 bay leaves, stirring again.

Reduce heat to medium-low and cover, cooking for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For the side dish, add 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water to a pot, along with 1 teaspoon of butter and a four-finger pinch of salt and pepper.

Stir the rice mixture on medium-low heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
