Ingredients:

500g large cubes of beef

500g baby potatoes 

3 table spoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion

¼ cup lemon juice

1 table spoon flour

4 cloves garlic

1 cinnamon stick

Cut the onion into four quarters. Put the meat in a pot on slow fire along with onion, garlic, cinnamon stick, and the vegetable oil. Flip occasionally in the oil till the meat is fried from all sides. Add 3 cups of boiling water. Increase fire and boil the meat stew till the meat is tender and edible. If water level drops below meat add more water. In the meanwhile, peel the potatoes and boil in water with a bit of salt until they are slightly soft. Drain the water and stir fry the potatoes in vegetable oil until they are slightly brownish. When the meat mix is done,  add the potatoes. In another container, mix the flour with the spices and salt, then mix with the lemon juice.  Add the flour mix gradually to the meat and potatoes stew and distribute on the pot gently. Let boil for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
