Steps:

• The next day, heat 3 tsp oil over high heat in a heavy Dutch oven and add the steak; brown it quickly on all sides without burning.
• Transfer the steak to a plate and sauté the vegetables until they are soft but not brown.
• Return the meat to the Dutch oven. Pour in the water and beer and bring to a boil.
• Cover the Dutch oven and cook slowly for about two hours until the meat is tender. The last hour of cooking add the final ½ tsp of salt and the 1 tsp of ground cumin.
• Finally remove the flank steak and put on an oven-proof plate. Top with onions, etc., and brown under the broiler.

Stir in the crumbled bouillon. Bring the water to a boil and drop the heat to low; cover. Allow to simmer until the meat easily pulls apart with a fork, about 2 hours.
