Now pour a small amount of vegetable oil into the frying pan and add the onion (1.5 heads) cut into half-rings. Fry the onion until golden brown, then transfer it to the pot and add bay leaf and peppercorns. Next, place half of the chopped meat into the frying pan and fry until all the juice released by the meat has evaporated.

Season the meat with salt and cumin, place it over the fried onions, and put the remaining sliced fresh onion half on top. Similarly, fry the second portion of meat until the juices evaporate, then transfer it to the pot, season with salt and sprinkle with paprika. Finish with a layer of julienned carrots, then pour beer into the pot and add water until the liquid just barely covers the meat. Place the pot over heat and simmer the beef, covered, for 20 minutes.
