  • 2 1/4 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1 head cabbage
  • 2 1/2 large carrots (2 or 3)
  • 3 1/2 large fresh tomatoes

  • 2 medium onions
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 green peppers
  • 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil (or cooking oil of your choice)
  • 1/2 tablespoon vinegar
  • salt and pepper (to taste, optional)

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Chop all the vegetables.
