Instructions
Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat the oil and brown the beef on all sides, for about 5-6 minutes. Set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute more, until the paste is mixed with the veggies and starts browning.
Add the wine and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes. Add the pâté and tomato sauce. Stir well.
Return the beef chunks to the pot and pour in enough water to cover the meat. Add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 2 hours, until the meat is fork tender.
When there are about 10 minutes of cooking left, add the bell peppers and peas. Serve with rice or baguette. Enjoy!
