2 large onions, sliced into rings

beef for it will turn rubbery and very hard to eat.

in the marinade and bring to a boil.


5. When marinade is boiling, add the fried beef and let it simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or

until beef is tender. Add water if necessary. Add some salt and taste it to your desired

taste. Add onion rings and serve while hot.
