Bibi’s Cocido de Garbanzo Stew

Begin by pulsing together the onion, green pepper and garlic in a food processor or blender (this is the "sofrito" base). Heat 3 Tablespoons of olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat, then add the sofrito and saute for 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and the cubed flank steak. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cubed chorizo, cubed ham and garbanzo beans (with liquid) to the saucepan. Dissolve in the beef bouillon cubes. Add the All Spice, oregano, paprika and cubed potatoes. Cover with lid and reduce to medium-low heat. Let the stew simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, until the meat is tender and the potatoes are cooked. Serve the stew with crunchy bread.
