Instructions

Cut the meat into pieces about 4 cm across and rinse them under cold water.
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
Brown the meat in a large casserole dish without any fat for 5 minutes over medium heat.
Add the onions and water, then bring to the boil and skim off the foam.
Cover and let it simmer over very low heat for about 2 hours, until the meat is tender.
Season with salt and pepper at the end of cooking, then serve with the steamed potatoes.
