Beef and olive stew ... got a recipe ?

[SpaghettiWestern]

I saw an episode of no reservations recently and Tony was eating in someones house and one of the things they made was this slow cooked beef stew with green olives. i cant remember what the show was but WOW it looked SO good.

does someone have a recipe for it? i think it was something from the Azores.

any help would be most appreciated.

thanks

might be ropa vieja. the cuban version is sometimes made with olives and capers and the recipe has roots in the canary islands

eta: in portugal something similar is called alcatra

I have seen the recipes for it but i cant seem to find one with the green olives. is that something i could just add or do you think that the stew is built around them.

it was the green olives that really set me off about it in the first place. lol

so THAT what i was looking for.

thanks for the link
