Spicy Tomato Beef

This was meant o be stewed this morning but then i was called up to work early in the morning as one of the teacher was on m.c. as i was preparing to cook... though i'm tired after work, i had to cook this as the beef had already been thawed... and i had to do relief again tomorrow morning...sigh...
Sorry for the unpresentable picture... the beef were drowned in the gravy.....
