Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.57 kg before cooking, which is about 785 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat a large skillet. Add the beef cubes and sear until the outside of the meat changes color.
Add the olive oil.
Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet. The mushrooms are used whole in the video. Sauté everything together for about 2 minutes more.
Add the vinegar. The source does not specify an amount; it states that it was added with the idea that it would tenderize the meat, but adding it during cooking does not affect tenderization.
Add the first portion of the water, then continue adding more as it evaporates until a total of 3 cups has been used. Cook over low heat until the meat is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. The total cooking time is approximately 2 hours.
Once the meat has absorbed the liquid, add the butter, tomato paste, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the starch smoothly in a small amount of water. Pour the starch mixture into the skillet and incorporate it into the sauce.
Cook the saucy beef for approximately 15 minutes more; the sauce should thicken.
Add the salt and black pepper shortly before turning off the heat, then stir. Serve hot.
Notes
The amount of water needed to dissolve the starch is not specified in the source. The video explains that a total of 3 cups of water is added gradually as the liquid decreases. The amount of vinegar is also not provided. The transcript states that the dish cooks for approximately 2 hours in total.
