Step 1
Start by browning the beef in a large pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Once the meat is nicely browned, add the onions and garlic, and cook everything together until the onions soften, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in the harissa, making sure the beef is well coated, and let it cook for another couple of minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next, pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients, then bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the potatoes and tomatoes. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the stew simmer gently for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef and potatoes are tender and full of flavor.
