Step 1
Mix marinade ingredients with beef chunks and marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator, or while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
Step 2
Heat 2 Tbsp oil in dutch oven or large heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add potatoes and carrots. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
In the same pot, add remaining 2 Tbsp oil and sear the beef chunks, shaking off excess marinade (do not discard the marinade). Brown the beef chunks on all sides. Do it in batches if needed.
Step 4
Push the beef to the sides of the pot. Add in the onion and cook until it softens.
Step 5
Add in chopped garlic along with the rest of the marinade and cook for a minute. Add tomato paste and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Add tomato sauce, fish sauce and red chili flakes. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Add beef stock, brown sugar, bay leaves, and liver spread. Mix well and bring the mixture to a low boil. Adjust the heat to medium low, cover and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until beef is tender. Stir occasionally to ensure it does not get burnt at the bottom.
Step 8
Add carrots and potatoes along with green olives and cook about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are almost tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 9
