Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 8

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more salt or spices to taste.

Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice for a burst of freshness.
