  • After the 60 minutes has expired, take out the cubed beef from therefrigerator. Put the beef inside of a large pot and put the pot on the stove.Set the temperature to medium heat until the meat turns brown.
  • Add one quart of water to the pot. Now add thyme, parsley, bay leaves,and cloves in there too. Keep the heat on medium for 40 minutes. Periodicallystir the ingredients that are in the pot.
  • Measure three quarters of water in a measuring cup and dump the waterinto the pot. Now wait until the water boils over the stove.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, including the yucca, plantains,malanga, celery, spinach, and carrots. Mix everything together and let itcontinue to cook for up to 20 minutes.
  • Now you can add the dumplings as the final ingredient on top of therest. Let the mixture simmer on the stove for 20 minutes. You can leave the potuncovered the entire time. The dumplings don’t need to be mixed into the other ingredients. If youattempt to stir them into everything, they will fall apart.
