2 1/2 pounds of beef (1 inch cubes)
2 large chopped onions
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup water
1 beef bouillon cube
4 large cubed potatoes
3 medium sliced carrots
2 medium green peppers (cut 1/2 inch pieces)

1 1/2 cup cubed turnip
3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried savory
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Combine the beef, onions, garlic, 1/2 cup water, bouillon and enough of the broth to cover it all. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until meat is tender (approximately 2 hours).
