Rustic Paraguayan Baked Beef Salad

Assemble the ingredients: beef, salt, water, bay leaf, cinnamon, carrot, potato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until baked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Paraguayan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Paraguayan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
