Trim the beef and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Dry the pieces with paper towels. Season the beef with adobo seasoning and salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches to brown all sides. Remove to a bowl or plate and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, peppers and sofrito. Cook for 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
Add the garlic and cook another minute, until you can smell the gorgeous garlic blooming.

Add the potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beef is fall apart tender. The liquid should reduce and concentrate.
