Olla de carne

Olla de Carne is a traditional Costa Rican beef and vegetable stew.Olla de carne means "pot of meat" in Spanish.It  was traditionally the mid-day meal for most Costa Ricans, sometimes eaten several days a week.

The stew is often made from beef cuts such as flank and short ribs, becoming especially tender when simmered in a broth together with cassava, carrots, potatoes, corn, plantains, and taro roots. This stew is traditionally prepared on weekends, both in home kitchens and restaurants, where it is accompanied by rice, beans, or deep-fried plantains.

 Many other parts of the world have their own signature beef stew or other typical food that incorporates broth, vegetables and spices alongside the meat like this Olla de carne.
