Instructions

1. Put the beef chunks in a medium pot with half the diced onion, the salt, 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder, ½ teaspoon thyme and ½ teaspoon curry powder. Stir, then heat on medium until simmering and cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add 2 cups of water, cover, and simmer until the beef is tender, checking from about 15 minutes. Drain the beef and keep the stock.
3. Blend the tomatoes, deseeded bell peppers, the onion chunks and the habanero peppers into a smooth paste or a chunky sauce.
4. Put the blended mixture in a medium pot on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook without stirring for about 10 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
5. Heat the oil in a large pot on high. Brown the beef in two batches, frying each side until browned, and remove it from the pot.
6. Lower the heat to medium. Saute the remaining diced onion until translucent, add the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
7. Add the reduced tomato-pepper mixture and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring from time to time.
8. Stir in the remaining curry powder, thyme and bouillon powder, then add the reserved stock and the fried beef. Simmer for about 5 minutes, covering the pot if it splatters, and adjust the seasoning to taste.
9. Serve warm over steamed rice.
