Add the beef cubes and sear them until nicely browned on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute to caramelize slightly, enhancing its sweetness.
Step 6
Return the beef to the pot and add the beef broth, ground black pepper, bay leaves, and fish sauce.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 hour or until the beef is tender.
Step 8
During the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the pickled jalapeños and adjust salt to taste.
Step 9
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
