Carne de vaca estufada – tastes like nuts

Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot and brown the meat. Peel and finely dice the onions, garlic, and carrots. Add to the meat and sauté. Stir in the tomato paste and then deglaze with white wine. Add the bay leaves and simmer the goulash over medium heat with the lid closed for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally and add a little water if needed. Finally, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. This dish is very popular in Portugal. It can also be prepared with other types of meat (e.g., lamb or pork). It tastes best with boiled potatoes and rice.
