Mash the onion and tomato in a blender and reserve
Cut the beef into chunks and place it in the pot with all the other ingredients
The beef should be fully immersed in the liquid
If necessary, add half a cup of water
Cover the pot and let it sit
Barreado
To finish, mix cassava flour and enough wine to unite the lid and the edge of the pot
Press it tightly to seal it completely
This prevents steam from escaping, drying out the meat
Bake over low heat for at least four hours
To remove the 'barreado' that gives the dish its name, simply scrape off the region with a knife
Before serving, reheat and give the meat a gentle stir to loosen it up
You can serve it with white rice, cooked bananas, and cassava flour
