Braised Potatoes with Beef

Beef cubes are seared in an iron cast oven with neutral oil, developing a browned crust for added flavor. Onions and carrots join the beef, cooking until golden before adding bay leaves and beef or chicken-flavored Better Than Bullion for depth. A mixture of tomato paste and water creates a flavorful simmering liquid that gently braises the meat over about 45 minutes until tender.
