Using a thick-bottom pot, add the oil, then sauté the onions, garlic, and ginger until the onion is translucent.
Add the beef cuts and cook ‘til brown.
Then add the tomato paste and followed by the tomato sauce. Mix until everything is incorporated.
Add 1 ½ liter of water, black pepper, sugar, and salt. Then let it boil for 20 minutes.
After the first 20 minutes, add the corn and slow cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 hours or until the meat is tender.
If the water reduces to a half, add another 1/2 liter more of water. Then add the squash, plantain, potatoes and Chinese chorizo. You may also add the chili at this stage if you want a spicy kick to this dish. Cook for another 15 minutes.
Then add the green beans. Cook for 2 minutes.
Remove from the stove and add the Pechay and allow the natural heat to cook it.
Serve your beef Pochero in separate bowls or in a large bowl paired with white rice.
