Seal the beef in the butter, then add sufficient water to cover and stew the beef for about 30 minutes, until semi-cooked. Add the bell peppers, tomatoes, and cabbage. Cover the pan and continue cooking. After 10 minutes add the potatoes, and a splash more water, if necessary, and cook for another 20—30 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
