Meanwhile, cut the beef into 1 inch cubes and put in another pot with the remaining onion and the cardimom.

Boil for about 1/2 an hour, then fish the cardimom out.

Preheat the oven.

Layer the potatoe and onion slices in the oven dish together with the beef cubes.

Pour the beef broth (Bahreez) resulting from boiling the beef in the oven dish, and put the dish in the preheated oven.
