1. Remove the skin and tendons from the meat and cut into 1.5 cm cubes. Peel and finely chop the onions. Clean the carrots and celery and cut or chop into fine cubes.

2. Heat the oil in a pan or large saucepan and fry the meat vigorously on all sides. Fry the vegetables for 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and let it sit a little, being careful not to burn it, otherwise it will taste bitter. Pour in the beef stock, season with salt and pepper. Put in the herbs, close the pan or saucepan with a lid and simmer the meat for 45 minutes over low heat.

Heat the oil in a saucepan and sweat the diced bacon and onion in it until translucent. Gradually add the savoy cabbage, let it cook briefly and turn several times. Pour in the vegetable stock.
